Risk Strategies appoints new managing director

Specialty insurance brokerage and risk management firm Risk Strategies has announced that Danielle Chaplick has joined as managing director.

Chaplick will be responsible for supporting the overall national growth and client service strategy through key business development initiatives and business model streamlining.

Risk Strategies launched the national consulting business in 2022, merging expertise and offerings from key acquisitions of industry leading consulting and actuarial firms. According to the company, Chaplick will support the infrastructure recalibration and integration of company assets to form a cohesive team and streamline the client service delivery model.

“Bringing together the specialty consulting, audit and actuarial firms we have acquired was the first step to delivering a holistic consulting experience to clients,” said John Greenbaum, national consulting services leader at Risk Strategies. “We will continue to invest and grow our consulting business to meet the current and evolving needs of our clients, and we are very excited to bring Danielle on board. She has a great background in strategic consulting, healthcare administration, government, and sales combined with her ability to bring data-driven solutions to client challenges in this space.”

Before joining Risk Strategies Consulting, Chaplick served as vice president and Northeast regional director – public sector for Gallagher Benefit Services where she managed a team of account service leads and senior consultants who worked with middle to large market clients.
Chaplick has also worked in employee health and benefits at Marsh & McLennan Agency in addition to roles in government healthcare administration, program development and product management.

“With so many offerings in the marketplace for employers to mitigate growing costs, the challenges of maintaining quality benefits for employees remains a constant uphill battle for most,” said Chaplick. “I am excited to join the talented team and leaders at Risk Strategies to help build out a new consulting practice and employ a panoramic approach to managing health and welfare programs.”
