Boyd Insurance & Investments, one of the largest and most established insurance firms in Manatee County, named third-generation leader Austin Boyd CEO. 

Boyd, 36, takes the helm of the company from Jim Boyd, who will assume the role of chairman, according to a statement. The elder Boyd is also a state senator, a Republican representing the 20th District, which includes northern Manatee County and southeastern Hillsborough County. Jim Boyd has been at the forefront of multiple insurance reform bills in the Florida Senate, and before that, the Florida House. 

“I am honored and thrilled to assume the role of CEO at Boyd Insurance & Investments,” Austin Boyd says in the release. “Our organization has a rich history of community-minded leadership, and I am excited to continue this legacy into the next generation. I am committed to building upon our strong foundation, fostering a culture of innovation, and expanding our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our valued clients."
