Tom Cassady, Jr

Over the past four decades, Tom Cassady has built a well-rounded career in underwriting, customer service and executive leadership. Cassady’s career began in 1983 when he took a position in Chicago with General Accident Insurance as an underwriter. In 1985, Tom joined Rollins Burdick Hunter (now part of Aon) as an Account Executive, where he focused on client service and new business development. In 1987, Cassady moved to South Bend, joining Cassady Neeser & Brasseur (CNB) as a producer and moved up the ranks to Partner, Owner and Managing Partner.

As Managing Partner, Cassady focused on organizational growth through acquisition and new business sales. In 2012, he and the other CNB partners facilitated a merger between CNB and The Horton Group.

For Horton, Cassady held several roles, including Property & Casualty Sales Leader in Indiana and Executive Director of Commercial Lines. He focused on building strong carrier and vendor relationships at a national and regional level. He was also responsible for carrier production, service development, and innovation. Tom worked with the Executive Director of Employee Benefits to drive specialization across Horton.

Today, Cassady is Vice President & Practice Leader for The Horton Group, a Marsh McLennan Agency LLC Company. Cassady knows that the Agency’s attention to detail sets Horton apart. “When one of our clients approaches us with complicated issues, we listen to all the details of their unique situation and then orchestrate a smooth solution utilizing our team of experts,” he says. “Each employee must deliver an outstanding individual performance while working in harmony with their team members. It’s imperative that we are always giving our clients an experience that is both exceptional and memorable.”

Cassady recognizes that insurance advisors are needed now more than ever.

“Businesses and individuals continuously face challenges and need an advocate on their side,” he says. “They need someone who understands complex issues and can help them minimize their risks while being mindful of their costs. Nothing motivates me more than being a part of each client’s success.”

Cassady is a native of South Bend, Indiana. He is married with three children and five grandchildren.
