TAMPA, FL, November 21, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Parita Patel has been inducted into Marquis Who’s Who. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Patel is a distinguished professional currently working in the private sector of health insurance. For nearly five years, she has owned Parita Health LLC. As the owner, she demonstrates exceptional leadership and expertise by managing the business, overseeing 85 agents, handling financial operations and remaining deeply involved in training and developing leadership teams. Additionally, she excels in insurance sales, a field where she has made significant strides.
Prior to starting her own business, Ms. Patel’s career journey encompassed diverse experiences and transitions that equipped her with a varied skill set and knowledge base. After earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management from the University of Florida in 2011, she began her professional career in corporate America, joining Target as a merchandise planning business analyst, where she contributed from 2011 to 2013, before advancing to the role of merchandise planning senior business analyst. Following her time at Target, she served as an associate planner at Charming Charlie from 2013 to 2015 in Houston, Texas.
In seeking new opportunities, Ms. Patel ventured into entrepreneurship in 2015 when she founded a successful jewelry business in Tampa, Florida. Despite her success, she sought a team environment and transitioned to the fitness industry. Initially, she worked as a personal trainer after earning her certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and eventually became the chief operating officer at 4U-Fitness LLC. During that time, from 2016 to 2019, her tenure was marked by significant contributions to the boutique fitness studio’s operations.
With the onset of the pandemic and the challenges it presented, Ms. Patel transitioned her focus to support her husband’s business temporarily. However, her passion for re-entering the workforce drove her to gain valuable experience at an insurance company before founding Parita Health LLC in 2021. Her remarkable achievements include becoming the leading insurance sales agent in all under-65 states in 2022, breaking sales records and being the first female to achieve this feat in a male-dominated industry.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions, Ms. Patel received the U.S. Health Group #1 Insurance Personal Producer of the Year Award in 2022. This accolade underscores her exceptional skills and dedication to excellence in her field. Overall, Ms. Patel’s success has paved the way for more women to excel in these top positions within the industry. As a female leader who has broken barriers in the industry, her accomplishments have inspired others. Through her work and interactions, she hopes to highlight that anything is possible through hard work and self-belief.
Ms. Patel’s dedication extends beyond her professional life. She is a member of Women to Know, an organization that supports women in various industries. Her commitment to empowering women is evident not only in her career thus far but also in her future plans to build a platform that helps women recognize their capabilities and provides opportunities for growth and education. In developing this platform, Ms. Patel aims to offer a wide range of classes, including sales training, which she believes is underrepresented for women.
Over the next several years, Ms. Patel remains focused on building platforms that empower women in all stages of their lives and careers while continuing to make significant contributions to the health insurance industry through Parita Health. Outside of her primary professional focus, she aims to write a book and establish a nonprofit organization focused on combating child sex trafficking, an issue she finds deeply troubling and feels compelled to address.
