Afore Insurance Services has acquired Florida-based TailoredRisk Insurance Advisors for an undisclosed sum.

The deal is expected to enhance Afore's presence in the personal lines insurance market, with a focus on “near-affluent” and “high-net-worth” demographics.

Following the acquisition, TailoredRisk principal John Paolini will assume the role of executive vice president, national personal lines division at Afore.

Paolini has more than 30 years of experience, with a focus on personal lines and ability to deliver client-focused outcomes.

Paolini said: "The alignment between TailoredRisk's culture and values and Afore's commitment to excellence in expanding its national platform makes this a perfect fit. I'm eager to work with our merged team to accelerate growth and deliver a superior client experience."

Paolini's new position at Afore fills the vacancy left by Andrew Muller, who has been promoted to executive vice president of strategy and partnerships.

The appointment also aligns with the recent promotion of Anthony Prete to senior vice president and chief operating officer of Afore's national personal lines division.

All the employees of TailoredRisk will join Afore, with the company operating under the Afore name.

Afore president and CEO Michael Garguilo stated: "John Paolini is one of the most talented personal insurance broker executives in the nation. His decision to join our team heading our personal lines business affirms Afore's value proposition and our exciting trajectory.

“We look forward to his leadership driving our growth in underserved, high-potential markets."

In December 2024, Afore acquired the assets of Block Insurance, an Oviedo, Florida-based firm, marking its expansion into the childcare insurance market.
