The arrival of January seems to bring out the list-making in the media. There are reviews of the previous year and predictions for the one we are now in. Publications commonly create a list of Top 40 Business People that are under the age of 40 as top entrepreneur’s to watch for the upcoming year. It used to be that 40 was the target for career establishment. Not anymore. In today’s aggressive market place, a long track record of success prior to age 30 is not uncommon. Credit technology is the empowerment of the Millennials. The reality is that the age bracket in which 30 is considered old, don’t just have extensive resumes – they have already formed in irreversible impact. That’s why The Suit Magazine opted to highlight six of these movers and shakers in our first edition for 2015. As expected, our list contains success stories from social media. There is no denying the changes and questions the emergence of social media brings to our world. Yet, our list goes further.

in California, this approach has made OnlyHealthInsurance<br />
very popular and client referrals continue to be their main<br />
source of business.<br />
But that is just part of the story for Dougherty.<br />
“In an effort to diversify, I started a second agency in 1999<br />
focused exclusively in the international health insurance market,”<br />
he noted. “We found a need that wasn’t being adequately<br />
promoted or addressed. Most travelers are unaware their<br />
domestic plan provides little, if any, coverage while outside<br />
the U.S. and Medicare stops at U.S. borders,” Dougherty explained.<br />
This new venture became ITG Worldwide Insurance Agency.<br />
Dougherty added, “ITG Worldwide is one of the few general<br />
agencies in the world dedicated specifically to international<br />
health and travel medical insurance for individuals and families,<br />
as well as global employers.”<br />
Now a seasoned agency in a niche market, ITG Worldwide<br />
continues to serve individuals and companies engaged in international<br />
travel and long-term expatriate assignments. The<br />
firm has long-standing relationships with the top international<br />
health insurance carriers, and Dougherty stated they can<br />
solve virtually any international insurance need.<br />
Specifically, ITG Worldwide caters to global employers, individual<br />
expatriates, business and leisure travelers, missionaries,<br />
and even students and visiting scholars. Essentially, anyone<br />
who sets foot outside their home country for short-term<br />
travel, work assignments, or living abroad and wants health<br />
insurance benefits that travel with them. Additionally, there<br />
are products for those who want to protect themselves against<br />
financial loss in case of a trip interruption or cancelation.<br />
ITG Worldwide also offers specialized contingent coverage<br />
such as insurance for kidnap and ransom, political evacuation,<br />
or acts of terrorism, as well as coverage in high-risk war<br />
zones. Dougherty added, “There is an ever-growing demand<br />
for these unique products.” Despite the turmoil and tension<br />
around the world – from terror threats in the Middle East to<br />
health warnings in Africa – Dougherty tells The Suit there are<br />
still those who want to see and experience the world firsthand.<br />
ITG Worldwide can provide travelers with peace of mind, including<br />
peace of mind for those traveling to regions that are<br />
anything but peaceful.<br />
“In today’s global economy, traveling abroad has grown tremendously<br />
both for both business and pleasure. With over six<br />
million Americans living in 160-plus countries and over four<br />
million trips abroad per month, the need for international insurance<br />
coverage and global benefits continues to grow.”<br />
International health and travel insurance isn’t limited to<br />
those heading abroad. Travel products are also available for<br />
foreign visitors to the U.S. Whether traveling for vacation,<br />
business, school, or for training purposes, incoming visitors<br />
can purchase plans to help defray the high cost of medical insurance<br />
in the United States.<br />
International insurance gives travelers portability and freedom,”<br />
he noted. “With the right plan, expatriates can get treated<br />
anywhere in the world as well as in the United States. We’re<br />
positioned not only to assist our own clients, but as a managing<br />
general agency, we also support our partner brokers and<br />
affil iate agencies in placing this coverage across the country<br />
and the world.”<br />
Helping clients, and prospective clients, navigate the com-<br />
plexities of the California health insurance marketplace<br />
and international health insurance has been made<br />
simpler through each company’s website, www.OnlyHealthInsurance.com<br />
and www.ITGWorldwide.com.<br />
Both websites offer extensive information about the products<br />
offered and provide self-help and online quoting and<br />
purchasing tools.<br />
“Content is king, as they say, but many people still want<br />
a professional to help them with their specific needs,”<br />
Dougherty emphasized. “Our team of experts, in both the<br />
California individual/family and Medicare market, and<br />
the international insurance market, place the utmost value<br />
on providing our clients with personalized service to<br />
ensure they choose the best plan to meet their insurance<br />
needs.” And, yes, that may include a root canal.<br />
