CoverLink Insurance is very excited to announce its continued growth in the Columbus, Ohio market through a strategic partnership with insurance advisor and entrepreneur Stacie Hannay, founder of Reliable Insurance Brokers. The partnership brings Hannay’s established client portfolio and long-standing relationships across Central Ohio into the CoverLink organization, strengthening the firm’s presence in one of the Midwest’s fastest-growing business and residential markets.
With nearly two decades of experience in the insurance industry, Hannay has built a reputation for delivering thoughtful, relationship-driven insurance guidance to individuals, families, and business owners. Her practice has grown largely through referrals and long-term client relationships, reflecting a consultative approach centered on education, trust, and helping clients confidently navigate complex risk-management decisions.
Hannay began her career in the captive agency channel, working with national carriers including American Family Insurance, State Farm, and Nationwide Insurance. The captive environment provided a strong foundation of industry training, product expertise, and client service. She later transitioned to the independent agency model to provide clients with broader carrier access and more customized insurance solutions.
As founder of Reliable Insurance Brokers, Hannay focused on helping individuals and businesses build comprehensive insurance strategies designed to safeguard assets, manage risk, and support long-term financial security. Her work has centered on developing personalized solutions that align coverage with each client’s evolving needs.
Hannay attended The Ohio State University and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from Franklin University. She holds licenses in Property, Casualty, Life, and Health insurance and has earned additional professional certifications including Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist and Long-Term Care certification. She is currently pursuing the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation, one of the industry’s most respected professional credentials.
Through this partnership, Hannay will continue to serve her clients while leveraging the expanded resources and infrastructure of CoverLink. Clients will benefit from broader carrier access, a larger advisory team, and enhanced tools designed to deliver comprehensive insurance and risk-management solutions.
“When I decided it was time to merge my agency with a larger organization, I was very intentional about the process,” said Hannay. “I researched and met with several firms because it was important to me to find the right long-term home for both my clients and my business. CoverLink stood out because of its leadership, resources, and shared commitment to relationships and client service. They often refer to themselves as CoverLink family, and I’m proud to now be part of it while continuing to grow our presence across Central Ohio and serve my clients with the same personalized approach they’ve come to expect.” 
The partnership also positions Hannay to play a key role in expanding CoverLink’s presence throughout Central Ohio, including continued growth in both Columbus, Ohio and Marysville, Ohio, where she will focus on building relationships with individuals, families, and business owners while helping strengthen the firm’s footprint across the region.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Stacie and her clients to the CoverLink team,” said President, Matt Simon. “Stacie brings a proven track record of exceptional client service, backed by her professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. Her approach aligns perfectly with our mission, and she’s already making a meaningful impact within our organization. Together, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver the strategic insurance and risk management solutions families and businesses rely on to protect what matters most and recover from a financial catastrophe.”
