Global insurance brokerage Hub International has strengthened its board with the appointment of two high-profile industry leaders, naming former CNA chief executive Dino Robusto as chairman of the board and former USAA president and CEO Wayne Peacock as a board director.
The appointments signal Hub’s focus on governance, scale, and long-term growth as competition intensifies across the insurance distribution market.
Dino Robusto Named Board Chairman
Dino Robusto, who most recently served as executive chairman of CNA Financial, takes over the role of board chairman at Hub International.
Robusto led CNA as chief executive officer from 2016 until 2025, overseeing the insurer through a multiyear transformation focused on underwriting discipline, profitability, and balance-sheet strength. He currently also serves as chairman of the American Property Casualty Insurance Association.
Marc Cohen, chairman and CEO of Hub International, said the transition reflects a deliberate step toward stronger corporate governance.
“I’m confident that passing the chairman seat to Dino is the right next step in building a world-class organization aligned with best practices in corporate governance and oversight,” Cohen said, adding that the move preserves transparency and collaboration between the board and executive leadership.
Hub said Robusto’s extensive global carrier experience will support the firm as it continues to scale in a rapidly evolving insurance landscape.
Wayne Peacock Joins as Board Director
Hub also appointed Wayne Peacock, the former president and CEO of USAA, to its board of directors.
Peacock retired earlier this year after 36 years at USAA, including the last five years as chief executive. During his tenure, he led a major technology and digital transformation at the member-owned insurer, modernizing systems and strengthening the customer experience.
Hub said Peacock’s background in leveraging technology to empower employees and create a connected digital ecosystem will help the brokerage enhance customer loyalty and deliver a more unified client experience.
Strengthening Leadership for the Next Growth Phase
Chicago-based Hub International has expanded rapidly in recent years through acquisitions and organic growth, positioning itself as one of the largest insurance brokerages globally.
Cohen said the addition of Robusto and Peacock reflects Hub’s ability to attract top-tier industry talent.
“Their insurance and financial services expertise will further strengthen Hub as we scale and prepare for the next chapter in our growth journey,” he said.
With deep experience across underwriting, distribution, governance, and technology transformation, the two new board members are expected to play key roles in guiding Hub’s long-term strategy.
