Hub International Reshuffles Leadership to Drive North American Growth

Andrew Forchelli will step into the role of Executive Vice President, overseeing key business lines including Personal Lines, High Net Worth, Retirement, and Private Wealth. Forchelli, who joined the firm 13 years ago through the GNW Evergreen acquisition, will retain his duties as President of HUB California while reporting directly to CEO Marc Cohen. Carol Mills, currently the CEO of HUB Coastal in Canada, will transition to the position of Chief Sales Officer for the entire enterprise. She is tasked with steering national sales strategy and will report to Forchelli.

Regional leadership also sees significant shifts. Billy Hobson, who joined the company in 2025, takes the helm as President of HUB Southern California, bringing a decade of experience from his previous tenure at a national brokerage. In Canada, Tim Geddes will succeed Mills as President of HUB Coastal. A longtime veteran of the firm since 2002, Geddes previously served as the region's Chief Sales Officer, where he was credited with driving consistent revenue performance. These appointments represent a strategic effort by the Chicago-based firm to integrate its vast network of specialists under a unified, broker-centric management model.
