Former CIA Officer, Jason Hanson, is the Founder and CEO of Spy Escape & Evasion.

The goal of Spy Escape & Evasion is to teach men and women how to be safe using Spy Secrets that 99% of Americans will never know. “You don’t need to spend 10 years becoming a black belt. You need to know how to be situationally aware, how to use defensive tools and techniques and learn the “Inside Secrets” to using these techniques to stay safe.” Jason began teaching two-day courses filling rooms across the country, training thousands.

In my career I have personally worked with over 700 agencies across the United States and Canada. It has been a blessing to be given the opportunity to work so closely and intimately with independent insurance agents on their agency’s performance. In doing this we have found that there are 10 objectives every successful agency adopts and embraces as part of their agency’s DNA. For these agencies the road to setting these objectives in place may have been rocky, however, they stayed the course, and their agencies and team benefited from it.

EAST GREENWICH, RI—This month marks the one-year anniversary of Agency Performance Partners, an agency success consultancy led by Kelly Donahue-Piro. “During our first year in business, we’ve been fortunate to work with some of the most forwardthinking independent agencies in the country,” Donahue-Piro says. “It’s been exciting to see these businesses start to transform their operations and it’s been gratifying to be part of the improvement process.”
