We are thrilled to introduce Armada Growth Partners, the newest chapter in Armada’s mission to help organizations thrive in a risk-filled world.
This approach isn’t new; it’s how Armada Risk Partners has always done business. What’s new is that we’re now formalizing that model into its own division and dedicated consulting practice. Armada Growth Partners takes the proven framework a step further, working directly with C-suite executives to identify and reduce exposures across the entire enterprise. This evolution allows us to go far beyond insurance by delivering a proactive, strategic approach that not only reduces risk but also contributes to lowering insurance premiums and accelerating growth.
Born from our parent company, Armada Risk Partners, a commercial insurance brokerage headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio and grounded in the mission: We Protect. You Grow. Armada Growth Partners brings the “Protect” & “Grow” side of that promise to life. Our consulting practice helps organizations move beyond traditional risk management by building cross-functional readiness teams across all departments, with a strong emphasis on threat intelligence, cybersecurity, and enterprise-wide resilience connecting clients to vetted, best-in-class solution partners tailored to their unique risk landscape.
“In today’s ever-evolving digital landscape, protecting our clients’ assets is just as vital as nurturing their growth. With Armada Growth Partners, we’re proud to bring our vision of ‘We Protect, You Grow’ to life, focusing not only on shielding our clients from cyber threats but also on empowering them to flourish even in challenging times,” says CEO Ed McNamara.
By leveraging our curated network, we reduce due diligence time and cost, offer preferred pricing, and deliver services beyond insurance. It’s about turning your broker relationship into a high-impact partnership—with the right strategy, intelligence, and people at the table.
Why Armada Growth?
Take cybersecurity as a prime example. New vendors enter the market daily, often offering seemingly identical solutions that address only a fragment of the broader challenge. The result? Buyers & executives within organizations are overwhelmed with overlapping options and often lack the time, insight, or support to evaluate which solutions and which partners are truly the best fit for their specific priorities.
That’s where Armada Growth Partners steps in; cutting through the noise to align the right resources with an organization’s specific strategic goals.
Add pressure from insurance carriers, auditors, and internal stakeholders, and the challenge becomes even more urgent. Most organizations know what needs to be done; very few know who to trust to get it done right.
“After years in cybersecurity and technology consulting, entering the insurance brokerage space revealed a clear opportunity to do more and to fully embrace Armada Risk’s strategic approach. With Armada Growth Partners, we go beyond policy talk to deliver white-glove, executive-level consulting that aligns growth, risk, and strategy. By collaborating closely with internal teams and connecting them with vetted, trusted partners, we help leaders identify and eliminate vulnerabilities, reduce exposures, and drive measurable impact. This work brings together our passion for strategy, authentic relationships, and risk leadership”. Says Tricia Lucas, new President of Armada Growth Partners.
Armada Growth Partners sets itself apart by bringing advanced cyber intelligence capabilities directly in-house including:
- Threat Intelligence & Dark Web Monitoring
- M&A Cybersecurity Due Diligence
- Ransomware Negotiation & Threat Actor (TA) Communications
- Threat Hunting
It’s a curated, embedded service model. We help clients proactively identify vulnerabilities, monitor emerging threats (even post-incident), and respond strategically when crises arise. This brings decades of hands-on expertise negotiating directly with threat actors and advising on secure, scalable integration during mergers and acquisitions.
Similar to an insurance healthcare network of preferred providers, we’ve curated and vetted a cross-organizational ecosystem of trusted partners with a specific focus on the cyber and technology space. Our consulting practice helps organizations move beyond traditional risk management by building cross-functional readiness teams across all departments, emphasizing threat intelligence, cybersecurity, and enterprise-wide resilience connecting clients to best-in-class solutions tailored to their specific risk profile and strategic objectives.
This system allows us to proactively strengthen the controls that lower risk exposure, improve insurability, and help reduce premiums for our clients while aligning every risk mitigation effort with growth goals and business strategy. Rethinking Risk: The Armada Approach We believe risk isn’t just about avoiding threats, it’s about unlocking potential. Today’s leaders face risk in every corner of their business, from slowed growth and supply chain disruption to talent retention challenges, operational inefficiencies, and emerging cyber vulnerabilities. These risks are critical and can have a direct impact on the bottom line. Acting as a strategic extension of our clients’ teams, our cross-organizational partner ecosystem, is a powerful differentiator in the broker and risk advisory space.
We help businesses go beyond point solutions by building enterprise-wide risk readiness teams to ensure alignment across departments and leadership. Transforming risk from a reactive burden into a strategic preparedness tool. We equip leaders and their teams with the essential tools and reliable relationships they need to grow with clarity and confidence. By bringing the right partners into the conversation, we help save valuable time, cut down on due diligence costs, and facilitate quicker strategic decision-making. Whether you’re modernizing your cybersecurity infrastructure, optimizing your sales & marketing strategy, or addressing operational inefficiencies, Armada Growth Partners is your go-to source for clarity, alignment, and most importantly, execution.
Because when risk is in every part of your organization and evolving rapidly, your advantage lies in being ready, not reactive. Risk is inevitable. Growth is intentional.
And with the right strategy and the right partners…We empower You to Grow.
