The new division provides brokers across the Southeast and beyond access to exclusive markets, competitive rates, and specialized coverage options. By leveraging decades of underwriting expertise, the company aims to foster mutual growth through partnerships that were previously unsupported by its internal systems. Rachel Welch, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, noted that strategic hiring and infrastructure investments were necessary to build a foundation capable of meeting external broker needs.

Vanessa Phillips returns to the company to lead the initiative as the head of the division. With over two decades of insurance experience, she is tasked with driving growth and managing broker relationships. Phillips, who began her career at Gilsbar, will oversee the delivery of high-value service to partners as the firm transitions into this new business model.
