đ´ââ ď¸ Poaching the Poachers:
When Insurance Executives Play Musical Chairs While Your Claims Get Denied
While youâre stuck battling with adjusters to get your legitimate claim paid, the suits at the top are busy waging their own wars, on each other. Enter Mike Parrish, the new CEO of Howden US, who just pulled off a corporate raid so bold it would make a Viking proud.
In one swoop, Parrish allegedly poached over 100 employees from his old company, Marsh, 90 of them quitting in a single day. Entire departments wiped out overnight. Marshâs lawsuit reads like a spy thriller: secret meetings, backroom deals, coordinated resignations. And while these guys were plotting corporate warfare, how much time do you think they spent improving claims service? Zero.
Same Game, Different Logos
Howden calls this heist âambitious growthâ and âfresh choice for clients.â Letâs cut through the spin. Parrish has bounced between Aon, Marsh, and now Howden. Same executives, same playbook:
Step 1: Move the chess pieces (and people) around.
Step 2: Spend millions on legal fights, signing bonuses, and PR spin.
Step 3: Pass the costs to you in the form of higher premiums and more denied claims.
Who Really Pays for Their Games?
These executive battles burn millions in legal fees and payouts. Where does that money come from? You. While the companies wage war over talent, they slow-walk your flood claim, nickel-and-dime your car accident settlement, and hide behind exclusions to avoid paying what they owe.
The real scam isnât just the poaching; itâs that executive warfare is fully funded while claims budgets are always âtight.â
The Business Model Exposed
This isnât competition; itâs a cartel. The same executives rotate through the same companies, keeping control while presenting the illusion of choice. Theyâll spend endlessly fighting each other in court but wonât spend a dime more to honor the policies you pay for.
The next time they cry poor over your claim, remember Mike Parrish and his 100-person exodus. They have the money, itâs just not for you.
