Renee Kiriluk-Hill is a Senior Associate Editor at AM Best, where she has spent over a decade bringing clarity, context, and humanity to some of the most critical topics in insurance and financial services. As a veteran journalist with more than 35 years of reporting experience, Renee brings a rare blend of editorial rigor, curiosity, and storytelling finesse to her coverage.
Since joining AM Best in 2015, Renee has written extensively on the evolving dynamics of the insurance industry—profiling leaders, demystifying regulatory changes, and spotlighting technology’s growing role in underwriting and claims. Over the past seven years, she has written hundreds of articles introducing InsurTech companies to the broader market, making her one of the earliest and most consistent chroniclers of insurance innovation. Whether in print, video, or online, her goal is to tell accurate, fair, and relevant stories that matter to readers across the ecosystem.
Before entering insurance journalism, Renee served for more than two decades as a reporter and editor at NJ.com, the Hunterdon County Democrat, and Penn Jersey Advance. Her reporting earned multiple awards and spanned business, environment, features, editorial, and breaking news—always with a sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of purpose.
At InsurTech NY’s 2025 Match Education Day, Renee Kiriluk-Hill joins the panel “Deep Dive into a Journalist’s Mind” to share her perspective on what makes a story resonate, how startups can build meaningful relationships with trade media, and the critical role journalists play in bridging transparency and trust within the insurance space.
She continues to be driven by three key questions: Is it accurate? Is it fair? Why should someone read it?—questions that make her voice indispensable in today’s rapidly evolving industry.
