COO & Co-Founder

In August 2021, we joined forces with Baldwin Risk Partners (NASDAQ: BRP) in a strategic partnership to fuel our growth and elevate the client experience. In the past two years, we’ve accomplished just that — doubling our headcount, launching an embedded partnership team, overhauling our application UX, and releasing industry-first features [more to come].

We’re excited to announce another massive milestone with Baldwin Risk Partners becoming The Baldwin Group.

The Baldwin Group bridges the gap for clients. We combine the national reach, resources, and financial strength of Baldwin Risk Partners (NASDAQ: BRP) with our entrepreneurial spirit and family-oriented culture. This seamless blend ensures you receive innovative solutions delivered with a personal touch. Across a vast national network, our team boasts deep industry expertise and strong relationships with a wide range of insurance partners. This winning combination protects the possible for our clients, ensuring the best possible solutions.

You may receive some emails from an @baldwin.com address going forward
You’ll have opportunities to work with a deeper bench of specialists from the Baldwin Group as we leverage our teams for the best servicing experience
