Over her decades-long career, Joanne Szymaszek, managing director of Risk Strategies, has made significant impact as a leader, mentor and community supporter, according to Steve Giannone, central region leader of Risk Strategies.
“Joanne’s foundation in working for both large public and mid-size private entities, along with previous experience as an entrepreneur, has provided opportunities for her to focus on her passion of creating meaningful relationships,” said Giannone. “Joanne’s intentionality in her approach results in achieving personal and professional goals, shepherding an organization’s mission and making a difference.”
“Joanne continues to inspire me and others around her. Her energy, drive and focus on raising up her colleagues, her associates and her peers motivates me to pursue my own personal and professional goals,” said Wendy Arnold, business development and carrier relations at Risk Strategies.
Szymaszek has twice been awarded the West Bend Spirit of the Silver Lining recognition for work with Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and Junior Achievement.
