What I'm looking for
I’m a Results-driven Employee Benefits Account Manager with 11+ years of experience managing client relationships, coordinating with insurance carriers, and supporting business growth.

At Houchens Insurance Group, I manage and retain a portfolio of employee benefits clients to ensure high satisfaction and long-term relationships. I serve as a key liaison between clients, insurance carriers, and internal producers, while developing and presenting customized benefit proposals that support client needs and business growth.
I also coordinate marketing efforts for new and existing opportunities, maintain accurate client records, and ensure timely communication across stakeholders.
