After earning her MBA from Bentley University in 2005, she gained valuable experience as a consultant before joining the FBinsure team as Operations Manager and progressing to Chief Operating Officer. Her dedication, expertise, and vision have made her a natural choice to lead the agency today as President.

Russel, who has been with FBinsure since 1979, will continue his commitment to the company’s growth and success as Chief Executive Officer. This leadership evolution ensures the continuity and success of FBinsure, securing the agency’s place as a future-focused and family-operated business for decades to come.

Russel Martorana expressed his confidence in Nicole’s ability to continue FBinsure’s legacy of exceptional service and innovation, stating, “Nicole is a proven leader and I have no doubt that her leadership will take FBinsure to new heights. Her passion for our clients, our employees, and our community is unparalleled, and her commitment to our agency’s values is unwavering.”

“I am deeply honored to step into the role of President and continue the legacy this agency has built,” said Nicole Martorana. “FBinsure is more than just a business; it’s a community of dedicated professionals who genuinely care about our clients. I’m excited to lead this team into the future and uphold our commitment to providing the best insurance solutions and service.”
