Impello Global Named EXIM 2021 New Broker of the Year
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.

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.

"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.
