GI Partners has announced the launch of a new tech-enabled managing general agency (MGA) platform, working alongside insurance veterans Brad Emmons and Brian Hanuschak.
The new initiative is focused on acquiring and growing a portfolio of MGAs, with an emphasis on underwriting quality, technology-led operations, and strong service for carriers, brokers, and policyholders.
Emmons, who co-founded Orchid Underwriters in 1998 and later led Forza Insurance Holdings, brings decades of experience in scaling insurance businesses. He said, “GI Partners has a strong track record of building growth platforms. We are excited to partner with MGA founders to accelerate their growth, strengthen capabilities through technology and analytics, and bring differentiated solutions to market.”
Hanuschak previously served as CEO of Victor Insurance Managers, a Marsh & McLennan subsidiary, helping it become one of the largest underwriting managers globally. He said, “I’m thrilled to support the next generation of MGA leaders alongside GI Partners. Innovation, scale, and culture will define the winners in this space, and we’re committed to helping entrepreneurs thrive.”
Steve Johnson, director at GI Partners, said, “We see significant opportunity in the MGA market, where specialized underwriting and scalable technology drive real differentiation.
“We have been actively evaluating opportunities across the MGA landscape, from founder-led firms to corporate carve-outs and sponsor-backed businesses. Brad and Brian are uniquely positioned to help us identify, partner with, and scale leading MGAs.”
