American Global is extremely proud to announce that Group President & Chief Operating Officer, David Marino, has been named a 2025 ‘Trailblazer in Construction’ by City & State magazine. David was recognized for his deep expertise in construction and his ability to guide contractors through complex financial and risk management insurance challenges.
City & State’s annual list features many of New Yorks’ master builders and other prominent figures in the construction industry who are working to advance major projects, influence public policy and/or drive innovation in this sector. This year, only a handful of service advisors made the cut, with David being the only insurance broker included on the official list. In addition to his deep knowledge and experience, the publication noted his commitment to serving both industry associations and charitable organizations.
David commented, saying “I’m honored to be named to City & States list of ‘Trailblazers’ alongside some of the greatest leaders in construction – many of who I proudly call partners, colleagues and clients. This group understands the impact and the importance of our industry to New York (and the world beyond). We seek to evolve, improve and innovate, to keep our industry moving forward.”
The magazine also acknowledged David’s role as a driving force behind the double-digit growth and continued success of American Global as they enter their second decade of business. In addition to the firm’s New York headquarters, American Global has 14 other locations across the US, Canada and Europe, making them one of the largest privately-held construction-focused brokers in North America.
Clearly, City & State’s ‘Trailblazer’ designation perfectly fits—and further solidifies—both David and American Global’s reputation as construction industry leaders and outstanding insurance risk advisors.
