Corporate Profiles

Michael J. Susco - Chief Executive Officer

Mike currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Telamon Insurance & Financial Network, and remains the sole owner of his agencies. After graduating from college, Mike immediately entered the insurance industry. His first job was with the Travelers Insurance Company. Twenty-two years later, after holding such positions as Commercial Lines Manager, Marketing Manager, Claims Manager, President, COO, CFO, and CEO of a large local insurance agency, he decided to venture out on his own in order to establish a multi-dimensional insurance entity, one that would provide a full range of products to both brokers and insureds with an emphasis on customer service. Mike combined Surplus Services Insurance Agency, which he originally founded in 1975, along with Marketing Associates Insurance Agency born in 1981.  Mike accomplished his first goal in the formation of a comprehensive client network.
