Titan CEO and headline sponsors Associated Bank and Wipfli LLP are pleased to announce Jewelers Mutual® CEO Scott Murphy as a 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 Honoree. The Titan 100 program recognizes Wisconsin’s Top 100 CEOs & C-level executives. They are the area’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry using criteria that include demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Collectively, the 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 and their companies employ over 64,000 individuals and generate over $14 billion in annual revenues. This year’s honorees will be published in a limited-edition Titan 100 book and profiled exclusively online. They will be honored at the annual awards ceremony on January 29th, 2026, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.
Titan award recipients are allowed to make the Titan 100 list for up to three years, with each year getting progressively more difficult. To make it to the Hall of Fame, Titans must complete on-camera interviews and answer a series of questions where they do not know what will be asked in front of a live judging committee. The Titan 100 Hall of Fame are a class of elite executives that have consistently shown over the past three years their ability to demonstrate the characteristics of a Titan who is a pillar of our community.
This year’s Titan 100 embody the true diversity of Wisconsin’s business landscape. Representing construction, marketing & advertising, financial services, food & beverages, information technology & services, and non-profit sectors, among others.
“Wisconsin’s Titan 100 are redefining business with vision and purpose, setting new standards for growth, innovation, and impact. These trailblazing leaders inspire transformation across industries, uplift communities, and drive meaningful change. We proudly celebrate their legacy of excellence and unwavering commitment to shaping a brighter future for all,” said Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.
Scott joined Jewelers Mutual in 2015 and has been instrumental in evolving the company beyond traditional insurance into a technology-driven provider of protection, risk management, and business solutions for the jewelry industry. Under his leadership, Jewelers Mutual has deepened its customer-centric approach by integrating data, analytics, and digital innovation to deliver personalized experiences and strengthen the jewelry industry.
“I am honored to return as a Titan 100 and be included among such an impressive group of forward-thinking Wisconsin leaders,” said Murphy. “This recognition reflects the collective effort of our entire team at Jewelers Mutual. Their dedication, curiosity, and commitment to excellence drive our continued success as we innovate and create solutions for our customers.”
Murphy will be honored alongside fellow award recipients at the Titan 100 awards celebration on January 29, 2026, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The annual event brings together leaders from across Wisconsin for an evening of recognition, networking, and celebration.
