Former NFL athlete and USC Hall of Famer, Connor Shaw joins Hub International as Insurance Advisor

Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading full-service global insurance broker, announced today that Connor Shaw joined as an Assistant Vice President, Insurance Advisor. Connor will be based in the Columbia office and will be responsible for strategically developing new employee benefits business opportunities.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the fitness industry, it’s crucial for professionals to safeguard their practices with comprehensive insurance coverage. With an increasing number of individuals pursuing careers in personal training and group fitness, the need for tailored insurance solutions has become more apparent. The insurance for fitness professionals is designed to address the unique risks associated with providing physical training and instruction, offering peace of mind against potential claims and liabilities.

Moreover, this specialized insurance not only protects against accidental injuries sustained by clients but also covers issues related to professional negligence and property damage. By securing the right coverage, fitness trainers can focus on delivering exceptional service and growing their businesses, confident that their professional interests are well-protected. This proactive approach ensures that trainers remain resilient in the face of challenges, maintaining a high standard of safety and professionalism in their field.

Most recently, Connor was the Director of Player Development for the University of South Carolina where he worked with student athletes on personal and professional development. Prior to his role at the University of South Carolina, he was an Account Executive, specializing in Voluntary Benefits at Colonial Life in Columbia, SC.

Tommy Suggs, President & CEO, Hub Carolinas stated, “Connor has developed an exceptional work ethic from his time in the NFL and as a student athlete at the University of South Carolina. Combined with HUB capabilities, we are confident Connor will be a valuable partner for his insurance clients across the Carolinas. Leveraging his work ethic and industry experience from his time at Colonial Life with HUB’s industry leading resources, positions Connor to be quite an asset to clients throughout the region.”

“If being a quarterback has taught me anything, it is the importance of people being there to help and protect you when you need it the most. My time playing football taught me the importance of a team and the impact a team approach can have on your success; I plan for this to be an integral part of the approach I take at HUB,” Connor Shaw, Employee Benefits Advisor, Hub International.

Connor holds a BS, Sports Entertainment & Management from the University of South Carolina and was inducted into the University of South Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021. He received the Diamond Pacesetter Award from Colonial Life; the highest award given for premium sold.
