Hylant Launches Consulting Division to Turn Risk into Strategy

Hylant has launched Hylant Consulting, a new division aimed at helping organizations view risk as a strategic asset rather than a traditional insurance concern. The initiative uses the firm's proprietary NexRisk Solutions platform to deliver data-driven, enterprise-wide risk management tools that support faster, more informed decision-making.

"Risk is no longer just about insurance—it's about strategy," Anne Marie Towle, CEO, Consulting, said.

The division targets companies with complex risk profiles, using a discovery-led process to evaluate and optimize risk programs. A key principle, "strategy before structure," challenges organizations to examine the reasoning behind their current risk frameworks and identify ways to improve performance and alignment.

Hylant Consulting offers proprietary analytics, actuarial insights, benchmarking, and dashboards to assess how risk affects both financial and operational outcomes. It also emphasizes leadership alignment, working directly with executive teams to identify blind spots and improve strategic clarity.

Companies partnering with Hylant Consulting gain insight into the full cost of risk and develop a long-term roadmap beyond annual insurance renewal cycles. The firm positions itself as a long-term partner focused on improving resilience, performance, and leadership cohesion.

The division is led by Ms. Towle; Kip Irle, president; and Joe Wieligman, chief operating officer.
