Paul Feldman

As a teenager, Paul Feldman set out to become a third-generation insurance agent without giving it too much thought, but it didn’t take long for him to veer off the family path and forge his own. It was not a lack of commitment to the insurance industry, but his recognition of a profound void and the huge entrepreneurial opportunity within it.

Paul was inspired to plot a new direction by many of the people featured in this book. With their motivation, he realized he did not have to follow his grandfather and father down their career path.

So, in 1999, with no experience in publishing or design and little money, Paul developed a website dedicated to the insurance industry.

InsuranceNewsNet.com quickly grew to become the industry’s No.1 news source. Meanwhile, Paul became a self-taught marketing guru. With the addition of InsuranceNewsNet Magazine in 2008 and several industry-niche-specific email databases for B2B advertising, his INN brand has grown into a critical marketing empire that carriers, marketing organizations and industry professionals rely upon to recruit, sell and grow.

InsuranceNewsNet Magazine has won scores of editorial and design awards, with Paul personally being nominated for Marketer of the Year (2012) and leading the team who was nominated for Marketing Team of the Year (2014) at the min Integrated Marketing Awards. Online and print readership continues to grow in a way not surprising for such a media powerhouse, with industry professional touch points nearing one million a month.

In 2016, Paul started AdvisorNews, a new brand that reflects the growth of the insurance industry into finance and the greater emphasis on holistic advising. You can be sure AdvisorNews will make the same impact in financial advising as InsuranceNewNet does in insurance.

In the insurance and financial space, Paul is a leader and a student, an innovator and a standard.

Paul lives in Camp Hill, Pa., with his daughter and son.
