“Risk Strategies has built a strong reputation for deep technical knowledge in its specialties as well as for exceptional client service,” said Stamper. “I’m looking forward to helping John and Scott build on what has worked so well and finding ways of delivering even more value to clients.” 

“Atlass is a leading worldwide brand in the marine insurance industry, and I could think of no one better to be the face of that brand than Scott Stamper,” said Popilek. “We expect great things from Scott and his team as we look to move the business and brand forward as part of Risk Strategies.”

A resident of the Fort Lauderdale area, Stamper is a member of the International Yacht Brokers Association; International Superyacht Society and the Lauderdale Yacht Club. He will be based out of Atlass’ Fort Lauderdale office and will also oversee the Atlass offices in Cocoa, FL and Newport, RI.
