Brown & Brown joins Financial Executives International partnership

The partnership connects FEI’s network of corporate financial executives with Brown & Brown’s analytical resources. As companies face increasing pressure to balance talent retention with fiscal discipline, the brokerage will provide guidance on plan optimization, pharmacy cost management, and regulatory compliance. Andrej Suskavcevic, president and CEO of FEI, noted that these expenses have become a primary focus for his members, necessitating specialized input to manage bottom-line impacts.

Josh Conklin, North American Employee Benefits Sales Leader at Brown & Brown, emphasized that the firm intends to offer data-driven strategies to help finance teams manage healthcare investment. The brokerage, which operates globally with approximately 23,000 professionals, will provide FEI members with market intelligence covering emerging cost drivers and total rewards trends. This integration allows financial decision-makers to access specific expertise on risk management and healthcare forecasting alongside their standard peer networking and professional development resources.
