Anthony “Tony” Folsom’s key approach to mastering international insurance is to seek out opportunities to expand his knowledge and network, which comes in handy when working within the
complex international insurance space.

In 2019 and 2020, Folsom worked with Moog Inc. after the company acquired a German entity, GAT. While Moog had in place its own stand-alone German liability policies that were intended to be the main source of liability coverage locally, GAT was to be included in the Moog Germany policies, which ultimately did not occur due to issues locally and in the U.S.

Once Folsom became the full-time broker for this client, he conducted a thorough analysis and set in place a plan with Aon Germany to provide coverage details between the two programs and assist in getting the information from Aon Germany to the U.S. client.

“Tony was extremely helpful when the integration of an acquisition did not go according to plan,” said Jennifer Schwab, director of risk and real estate at Moog.

“He went above and beyond to remedy the issues and even traveled to our facility in Germany to host a meeting between his local Aon colleagues, my German colleagues and Moog risk management. Through my years of working with Tony, his knowledge of our business continues to grow.”

Sam Kilpi, risk manager at UPS, agrees. “He has a very good understanding of our business and our business needs and is always ready to find any missing information in an expeditious manner,” Kilpi said.
