Our Founder
Lisa Holt
Founder
Lisa Holt was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and moved to Sunny South Florida in early childhood. Starting her insurance career with one of the world's largest insurance brokerages, she has established a track record of producing the most competitive results through the most challenging insurance markets.
Taking pride in everything she does, doing what she says she will do, and creating transparency around insurance are some of the founding principles that led her to start her own firm in 2021. Ivy grows a way of doing business that is often lacking in the industry, while demonstrating how risk management should work for your business. She cares deeply about doing the best possible job no matter how big or small, and this passion translates into an excitement that elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary.
