Like many who find their way into the insurance industry, Frank Sapio had a very successful career in another arena. He spent several years in the Air Force, starting in medical administration and eventually ending up as an air traffic controller. While he appreciated his time in the service, it wasn't necessarily conducive to raising a young family, so he looked for other opportunities. He considered continuing as an air traffic controller and then fate backed into his life…literally.
"I got into insurance when someone backed into my car," he shares. "I spoke to the adjuster about what his job was like, it sounded interesting and the rest is history." Today, Sapio has been in the insurance industry for more than 30 years and is now head of claims in North America at Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty.
