As the leader of the Atlanta financial lines practice at AmWINS Brokerage of Georgia, Matt Shanks manages market strategy, corporate initiatives and team synergies across the office, leading a team of six that specializes in management, professional and cyber liability.
Shanks is dedicated to supporting and giving back to new brokers. “Helping others to develop and become industry leaders can be incredibly rewarding,” he says.
