BEST soon evolved to cover Operations, Product, Audit, Legal, Compliance, Actuarial, Human Resources, Finance and Accounting, and more - truly every function in insurance. Across all lines of business, across all kind of business types. ????

Phyllis Karp came on board as our (extremely capable and calming) EA. best search. has a deep, rich, foundation. Audry Torrence, founder (re-founder? Is that a thing?) now has 30 years of search experience in the insurance industry, including nine years with two different London executive search firms. ????? best search. now provides a wide scope of search consulting and recruiting services to insurance, reinsurance, and insurtech businesses, MGA's, solutions providers in the US, Bermuda and northern LatAm/Miami.?????
