In his role, Matt will lead transportation placement strategies across the organization, working closely with producers and carrier partners to enhance results, expand market relationships, and drive execution across transportation-related risks.

The launch of the Transportation Practice is part of a larger initiative at King to develop specialty platforms across the firm, aligning specialty expertise with producer growth and client needs.
