Joe Flanagan is a successful entrepreneur who turned his ability to sell, and his understanding of building relationships into a multi-million dollar business. After five years of working at a large, international insurance brokerage, Joe struck out on his own at the age of 27. He built JP Flanagan Corporation, his own insurance agency, into one of Chicago’s largest, with offices throughout the country. In 2001 he sold his company to Hub International, where he sat on their executive committee for three years and was on the floor of the NYSE when Hub went public. In 2002, he was named one of the “rising stars” in the industry by Business Insurance Magazine.

Joe is involved in managing and training salespeople at Acquirent, as well as helping to oversee the operational aspects of the business.

Joe serves on the Board of the Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Foundation, and on the Board of Directors of Access to Care, an organization dedicated to working with the uninsured of Cook County. Joe lives in Evanston with his wife and five children.
