GUY KING III
PRESIDENT, M.E. WILSON, TAMPA
M.E. Wilson provides corporate property and casualty insurance along with risk management. The firm also offers employee benefits consulting for larger employers and personal insurance for the high net worth market. Founded 100 years ago by King’s maternal grandfather, the firm employs 69 in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Fort Walton and Gainesville. King, president since 1985, started “as a basic homeowners policy salesman. Today, I consult on sophisticated captive insurance plans, directors and officers coverage and cyber-liability.”
