Our Story

Mike Leavitt devoted the first chapter of his career to building successful businesses where he learned to identify comparative advantage and earn a profit. He specialized in risk management and served as the chief executive of The Leavitt Group, a family-led insurance business that is now the nation’s second largest, privately held insurance brokerage in the country.

His second chapter focused on looking after the public good. He served the people of Utah for three terms as governor and later joined the Cabinet of President George W. Bush. He served the American people in two positions: first as the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and then as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which has the federal government’s largest budget.

These experiences enabled him to see through a wider lens, to manage greater complexity, to bring the right people to the table for collaborative decision-making and to meet like-minded professionals who are dedicated to a better future. Most importantly, Leavitt and the team around him, discovered the satisfaction of confronting, advancing and solving issues with profound and far-reaching implications for the human condition in the United States and around the world.
