Ron Hensel
SVP, National Sales
Ron brings over 23 years of elite financial services experience to InsurTech Express, where he is spearheading the development of the industry’s most dynamic sales organization. A proven leader with a record of scaling teams to the very top of the industry, Ron is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished executives in annuity distribution.
He began his career in 2002 as an annuity wholesaler with The Hartford, where his rapid rise set the tone for what would become an exceptional career. Within four years he ranked in the firm’s Top 5 nationwide for annual production, and by 2010, he had ascended to the #1 producer in the country. In 2012, Ron was promoted to Divisional Vice President, leading a team of 18 wholesalers across multiple markets.
Following The Hartford’s annuity division acquisition, Ron navigated two corporate transitions seamlessly—first with Forethought Financial Group, and subsequently with Global Atlantic Financial Group. Over the next 12 years at Global Atlantic, he served as Senior Vice President and Divisional Sales Manager, where his team became the benchmark for performance across the enterprise. Under Ron’s leadership, his division was ranked #1 in production seven of 12 years, raising more than $30 billion in total annuity premiums.
Residing in Chesterfield, Missouri, Ron and his wife, Charlotte, are raising three sons—Grayson (14), Gage (12), and Brody (7). With all three boys active in competitive soccer, weekends often find the family at fields throughout the St. Louis region. In their downtime, Ron and Charlotte enjoy fitness, live music, and the occasional Netflix marathon.
At InsurTech Express, Ron is embracing his next chapter—bringing world-class sales leadership to the InsurTech space. His vision is bold: to build and lead the most elite sales force in the industry, setting a new standard for performance, growth, and partnership.
