National recognition honors two decades of leadership advancing responsible growth, innovation, financial resilience, and market stability across the property and casualty insurance industry

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
American Integrity Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE: AII) (“American Integrity,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Tampa-based property and casualty insurance holding company and one of Florida’s leading providers of residential property insurance, today announced that its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Bob Ritchie, has been named PropertyCasualty360’s 2026 Thought Leader of the Year in the Insurance Carriers category. The honor is part of the national Insurance Luminaries Awards, which recognize professionals and organizations whose innovation, leadership, and service are helping shape the future of the property and casualty insurance industry.

The honor recognizes Mr. Ritchie’s contributions to strengthening Florida’s property insurance market and advancing industry dialogue around responsible growth, financial resilience, innovation, and long-term market stability.

Since founding American Integrity in 2006, Mr. Ritchie has transformed the Company from a Florida-based homeowners insurer into a regional carrier serving policyholders across multiple states in the Southeast. Under his leadership, American Integrity has expanded its geographic footprint, strengthened its financial foundation, built enduring relationships with independent insurance agents and, in 2025, successfully completed its transition to a publicly traded company, all in pursuit of becoming a trusted insurance partner for both homeowners and independent agents. Today, American Integrity protects hundreds of thousands of policyholders across the Southeast while continuing to expand responsibly into new markets.

Throughout his career, Mr. Ritchie has participated in industry discussions focused on market reform, disciplined underwriting, responsible growth, and long-term market stability. He has advocated for practical solutions that strengthen insurance capacity while helping agents, consumers, policymakers, and industry leaders navigate a constantly evolving insurance landscape. In recent years, he has advocated for legislative reforms intended to improve the stability of Florida’s property insurance market. Following reforms enacted in 2022 and 2023, the Florida insurance market has seen a reduction in the frequency of claims, increased market participation, and improved conditions for responsible private-market growth. Within the Company, Mr. Ritchie has built a values-driven culture centered on integrity, commitment, teamwork, humility, passion, and service. He has emphasized that lasting success is measured not only by financial performance, but also by the confidence policyholders place in their insurer, and the strength of relationships with employees, agency partners, and the communities the Company serves.

“I am honored to receive the Thought Leader of the Year Award from PropertyCasualty360,” said Mr. Ritchie. “This recognition reflects the extraordinary dedication of the American Integrity team, and is a testament to nearly two decades of serving policyholders, supporting independent agents, and strengthening the property insurance marketplace. Every policy represents a promise to be there when families need us most, and this honor belongs to our employees, agency partners, Board of Directors, and stockholders who make that mission possible.”

"This year, the team behind PropertyCasualty360.com was thrilled to scale up our annual professional recognition program to more accurately reflect the depth and breadth of the property and casualty insurance industry," said PropertyCasualty360 Editor-in-Chief Elana Ashanti Jefferson. "These awards pay homage to the critical work around making insureds whole after a major loss while also empowering innovation and modernization to address ever more complex risks and consumer demands."
