It would be no overstatement to describe EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants' rise to the top of the benefits market as … well, epic.
The San Francisco-based consultancy was co-founded in 2007 by John Hahn, EPIC's current CEO.
Hahn, a property & casualty and benefits broker, devised an aggressive growth strategy that he funded with seed money from Stone Point Capital, ultimately establishing 29 locations in 12 states through acquisitions and solid organic growth. In 2013, the private equity firm The Carlyle Group became a majority owner in EPIC. Today, the firm that posted $12 million in revenue at the end of its first year now boasts more than $200 million – and, according to its website, is listed among the top 20 brokers in the U.S.
