RICHMOND, Va. (June 8, 2020) — Allie Feakins, CEO of Richmond-based auto insurance comparison platform, Compare.com, has been accepted into the Forbes Business Council, the foremost growth and networking organization for successful business owners and leaders worldwide.

Feakins was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of her experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

“We are honored to welcome Allie into the community,” said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Business Council. “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world.”

Since earning her MBA from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business in 2010, Feakins has risen through industry ranks. She first joined Compare.com as head of Carrier Management in 2013 and was named as the company’s CEO last fall.

“This is such an exciting opportunity, not just for myself, but for the rest of the team here at Compare.com,” Feakins said. “I’m thoroughly looking forward to connecting with other members of the council and having the ability to share knowledge and ideas with a wealth of business leaders. These sorts of connections could prove to be invaluable as we continue to grow as a company and major player in the auto insurance industry. I can’t wait to get started.”
