WASHINGTON –Today the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) awarded
Impello Global
Insurance Services LLC, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, as EXIM’s
2021 New Broker of the Year. EXIM presented the award during EXIM’s 2021
Annual Conference being held virtually September 21-23.
Impello Global is a relatively new specialty trade-credit and political
risk-insurance brokerage firm. Founded in 2017 by Jeramie Maxwell, who
previously managed Wells Fargo's structured trade finance and cross-border
lending, the firm provides EXIM’s short- and medium-term export credit
insurance, as well as assistance with EXIM’s long-term financing, for the West
and Mountain regions of the United States.
In FY 2020, Impello Global produced the eighth-highest increase in EXIM
authorizations amount. Moreover, 100 percent of their EXIM customers were small
businesses.
“Every year, EXIM awards our newest insurance broker for special recognition
among the most accomplished members of our wide and diverse pool of talented
brokers. This year, we are pleased to recognize Impello Global as EXIM’s 2021
New Broker of the Year,” said EXIM Broker Account Manager Ursula Wegrzynowicz.
“We appreciate our expanding collaboration with Impello Global, and we look
forward to much future success with this enterprising and growing broker in
support of America’s small business exporters and their employees.”
“After nearly 20 years of working with EXIM in various capacities—first as a
young broker, then as a senior banker, and now as the head of an advisory
boutique and trade credit and political insurance brokerage—I can say
firsthand how important and valuable EXIM is to U.S. exporters. I have
personally experienced EXIM supporting thousands of U.S. jobs, and offering the
needed support to transform businesses from small companies with a primary focus
on the U.S. market to a large growing business with sales throughout the globe.
It has been an honor to work with EXIM,” said Impello Global President Jeramie
Maxwell.
Impello Global is a U.S.-based trade-credit insurance brokerage and a
trade-finance advisor. The company specializes in brokering trade credit and
political risk insurance globally and provides advisory services to companies,
private equity firms, and lenders seeking to expand their global trade and
