Recognition from a national publication is no small feat—and we’re proud to announce that our very own Joe Ellis has received one of Business Insurance Magazine’s 2025 Break Out Awards for his leadership and contributions to the industry.
Joe was honored at a recent award ceremony in Chicago, joining a distinguished group of 40 professionals recognized across the country—only 10 of whom represented the Western region. We’re honored to see his leadership acknowledged on such a prominent stage.
“Joe’s impact on Leavitt Group has been tremendous,” said Peggy Hansen, senior vice president of Sales at Leavitt Group. “His knowledge, leadership, and drive to keep improving set the tone for everyone around him. He leads by example and inspires the teams he works with every day.”
The Break Out Awards spotlight emerging leaders in insurance and risk management who are already making waves—and Joe is certainly no exception. With nearly a decade of experience under his belt, he’s built a strong reputation in commercial coverages like risk management, captive insurance, executive and professional liability, and medical professional liability. On top of that, he’s a dedicated mentor, helping to train and guide new agents across the Leavitt Group.
Joe shared, “I’m incredibly honored to receive this recognition. It’s something I’ll carry with me throughout my career. But I also know this achievement wouldn’t be possible without the people around me—my team is what motivates me to give my best every day.”
Joe’s leadership and vision are an asset to our organization, and we’re excited to support his continued growth and influence in the industry.
Whether you're protecting your family, your business, or your entire organization, Joe and the team at Dixie Leavitt Group are here to help you find the right coverage with confidence. Reach out today to learn how we can support your insurance needs at www.leavitt.com/dixie.
