"Gene Marks brings a great level
of expertise and helpful advice to the Hiscox Authors Series for
Entrepreneurs," said Kevin Kerridge,
Director for Small Business Insurance at Hiscox. "Not only has he
experienced the challenges of being a small business owner
firsthand, but as an influential columnist, he is able to keep on
top of trends in real-time, providing added value to our customers
and small business owners in general. Hiscox remains committed to
providing innovative solutions to small businesses, through unique,

"The thought of being a small business owner is often
romanticized, and the hard work, sacrifice and time that goes into
making a business successful is not fully weighed by
entrepreneurs," said Gene Marks, who
in addition to being an author writes weekly columns and blogs for
The New York Times,
Forbes.com, The Huffington Post, Inc.com and Philadelphia
Magazine. Gene has also written five books on business
management specifically geared towards small- and medium-sized
businesses and frequently appears on FOX Business, FOX News and
CNBC to discuss matters affecting the business community.
"By participating in Hiscox's Authors Series for Entrepreneurs I
hope to share some of the knowledge that I have obtained over the
years with future and current small business owners and help them
understand the steps necessary to start, grow and maintain a
business' success. I'm truly excited to work with Hiscox on
this initiative."
