Justin Howard is an executive recruiter specializing in the property and casualty insurance and employee benefits industries. With more than six years of search experience, he partners with insurance carriers, brokerages, and MGAs to identify leaders who don’t just check the boxes on paper but fit the culture and trajectory of the businesses they join.
His approach is straightforward: recruiting is a relationship business, not a transaction. Justin invests the time to learn what each client is really building and what each candidate is genuinely looking for, because the best placements happen when both sides of the table feel understood. That’s what lets him stay in his clients’ and candidates’ corner well beyond any single search, operating as a long-term advisor rather than a name attached to one placement.
A Kansas native, Justin played collegiate golf at Washburn University before transferring to the University of Kansas, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in business. Outside of work, he can be found on the golf course, yelling at the Kansas City Chiefs, or trying out a new restaurant around town.
