Chicago, July 1, 2026 — Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today that Samuel Garvey has joined as Commercial Lines Analytics Practice Leader. In this role, Garvey will expand and deepen HUB's data and analytics capabilities in the U.S. and Canada.

“Sam brings deep actuarial expertise and client-facing experience that will help advance HUB's analytics capabilities, positioning brokers to identify savings opportunities and deliver value to clients in a market where data is abundant but insight is scarce,” said Tim DeSett, President of Commercial Lines, HUB International. “He brings a track record of building rigorous, client-facing analytics and translating that complex data into real outcomes.”

Garvey will help develop proprietary tools and processes that strengthen how HUB analyzes risk and advises clients on program structure, retentions, loss projections and total cost of risk. He will collaborate with HUB's Commercial Lines teams, to embed analytics as a lever to support new business and client retention and equip producers with data-backed insights at every stage of the client or prospect relationship.

Garvey joins HUB from an independent insurance brokerage, where he served as Vice President of Analytics and Team Lead, overseeing actuarial, captive and catastrophe modelling functions and helping develop a next-generation commercial insurtech platform. Before that, he led surplus lines pricing strategies at a global brokerage firm and began his career as a catastrophe risk analyst at a global reinsurance advisor. Garvey holds a BBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Actuarial Science and Risk Management & Insurance and earned his Fellowship in the Casualty Actuarial Society (FCAS) in December 2024. He is based in Denver, Colorado.
