Co-CEOs Greg and Rick Jacobson Transition to Board Leadership

The Jacobson Group, a leading executive search and staffing firm for the insurance industry, is excited to announce the appointment of President Corey Pinkham to chief executive officer. Current co-CEOs Gregory P. and Richard L. Jacobson will transition from day-to-day leadership to serve on the firm’s board, with Greg Jacobson assuming the role of chairman. This planned succession reflects the natural evolution of The Jacobson Group’s leadership team and its continued commitment to delivering exceptional talent and service to the insurance industry.

“Rick and I are proud of the legacy our father [the late David Jacobson] began more than 50 years ago and are honored to have grown The Jacobson Group into the firm it is today,” said Greg Jacobson. “This leadership transition ensures our clients, candidates and team will continue to benefit from the same dedication to excellence and partnership that has long defined the firm. We are confident Corey’s leadership will guide the organization into its next chapter of growth and success.”

Since joining The Jacobson Group in 2023, Pinkham has held leadership roles overseeing the firm’s full suite of search, staffing and corporate functions. Most recently as president, he played a central role in driving innovation, advancing operational efficiency, and strengthening both client relationships and industry engagement. Prior to The Jacobson Group, Pinkham held senior leadership positions at Randstad Technologies.

In his new role as CEO, Pinkham will lead day-to-day operations and guide The Jacobson Group’s growth strategy and long-term initiatives. Supported by a tenured senior leadership team, he will ensure The Jacobson Group continues to evolve with the insurance industry’s changing demands, advancing innovative talent solutions and expanding access to top-tier professionals and market intelligence that help drive client success.

“Stepping into this role is a privilege, and I look forward to building on The Jacobson Group’s rich history in the insurance talent space,” said Pinkham. “I’m excited to continue creating value for our clients, our candidates and our employees, while honoring Jacobson’s long-standing reputation in the industry.”

Greg and Rick Jacobson will continue to leverage their extensive experience as members of the firm’s board, remaining committed to the insurance industry, The Jacobson Group and its clients. They will provide strategic oversight and work closely with Pinkham and the senior leadership team to guide the firm’s long-term direction.

“While our day-to-day responsibilities are shifting, our dedication to our clients and our team remains unwavering,” said Rick Jacobson. “Corey has a deep understanding of our business and the strategic vision and experience necessary to lead the firm forward. We are confident he is the right leader to deliver continued value for our clients, candidates and employees alike.”
