leman '97
a rising star
Tim Leman is a 1997 magna cum laude graduate in Insurance and Risk Management. His father, brother and wife are also ISU alumni. In 2004, he earned ISU's GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Award.
After graduation, he was a new business consultant for Aon Consulting in Indianapolis until he was named executive vice president of the Willis Company in Phoenix, AZ in 1999. Later, he was named chief growth officer for Gibson Insurance in South Bend, IN, and today he serves as the company's president.
networks are key
It's who you know. It's the relationships you grow. "The two most important learning opportunities were in internships and industry events," Leman said. "The industry contacts I made were so valuable to me. They proved to be great resources, sounding boards and mentors. I was able to put the network I had developed in college to good use in my career."
giving back is crucial
"One of my mentors has constantly insisted to me when I try to thank him or repay him that all he wants to know is that I'll do the same for others. That really has stuck with me, so, I guess you could say I have a debt to repay to ISU. I can't really repay those who helped me so I'll do it by helping the next generation.... and although I use the word "debt," I love every minute of it."
