Amwins Group

Kristin L. Downey is Chief Administrative Officer for Amwins. She joined Amwins in December 2002, initially serving as Director of Human Resources and now leads a team responsible for developing and implementing the people strategies to support Amwins’ business objectives.

Kristin directs the management and operations for compensation and benefits; human resource systems and payroll; employee relations and assistance; talent management; training & development; and marketing & communications. She leads the company's philanthropic efforts, including the recently formed Amwins Foundation.

With a goal to further align Amwins’ culture of empathy and compassion with the priorities of employees, Kristin also serves as the executive leader of the company’s D&I Council, working to build a diverse and inclusive culture at Amwins. She believes in supporting diversity in the broadest sense and being held accountable for results.

While every employee within the firm is already considered an ambassador of inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility, it is Kristin that directs Amwins’ commitment to D&I. With the backing of the entire executive leadership team, the company has expanded their commitment to ensure diversity within recruiting and partnering with associations supporting diversity.
