Scott C. Mayor is a seasoned insurance executive and operational strategist with over 38 years of progressive leadership experience in the commercial insurance and risk management sectors. Widely recognized for his ability to architect enterprise-level growth and profitability, Scott has consistently delivered exceptional outcomes across agency operations, mergers and acquisitions, risk strategy, and executive coaching. His expertise spans a broad range of industries including commercial real estate, construction, and homeowners associations (HOAs), positioning him as a sought-after voice in insurance agency leadership and transformation.
Scott currently serves as the Founder and CEO of Endurance Risk and Management Services LLC, a consultancy firm he established to provide high-impact advisory services to insurance agency owners and commercial business leaders. In this capacity, he partners with executive teams to drive performance improvements, lead change management, and groom next-generation CEOs. Through tailored executive mentoring, Scott has successfully guided multiple sales leaders into strategic growth roles, resulting in agency organic growth of over 50%, while also supporting commercial clients navigating complex risk placements following coverage disruptions.
Prior to founding Endurance, Scott was an equity partner and operational leader at Mountain West Insurance & Financial Services, a $50M BroadStreet platform partner agency. There, he played a critical role in scaling the agency through seven strategic acquisitions, spearheading post-merger integration efforts that unified systems, workflows, and culture. His work yielded 292% top-line growth and transformed the firm into a market-leading enterprise. His introduction of a rigorous quality assurance program led to a 50% reduction in agency errors and zero E&O claims during his tenure—demonstrating his operational rigor and client-centric philosophy.
Earlier in his career, Scott served as Chief Operating Officer at Neil Garing Agency, Inc., where he restructured sales and service models, bolstered retention in key verticals, and enhanced EBITDA, leading to a successful acquisition. During his 20-year tenure at Brown & Brown, Inc., Scott rose from producer to Executive Vice President, overseeing multi-branch operations, executing successful acquisitions, and earning recognition as a top producer and agency leader. He played a pivotal role in restoring declining office performance, achieving high retention and production growth, and earning accolades such as the Western Office of the Year.
Scott’s leadership is rooted in a disciplined yet people-first approach. His ability to blend technical insurance expertise with strategic business insight allows him to elevate both team performance and operational outcomes. His core competencies include P&L ownership, risk advisory, analytics-driven sales strategy, post-acquisition integration, and leadership development.
A Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) and Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), Scott holds a BSBA in Economics from the University of Denver. While he has no international exposure or multilingual background, he brings a deeply focused domestic market acumen that has proven highly effective in the U.S. insurance landscape.
Now actively seeking board and advisory roles, Scott is motivated by a desire to apply his decades of industry experience to support strategic governance, mentor emerging leaders, and contribute to the growth and sustainability of forward-thinking companies. He is especially interested in serving organizations with $10 million+ ARR and has no industry limitations—though his deepest expertise remains in insurance, agency operations, and risk management.
