A BMA-based carrier client of ours required a US entity to remain competitive, so they tasked Ikon with finding a candidate that could launch and scale a US-based MGA. They needed someone that could understand US market dynamics, and effectively lead underwriting teams across multiple lines of business.

Ikon worked closely with the carrier to develop a comprehensive understanding of their business goals and specific requirements for the role. We focused on identifying candidates who had experience building MGA platforms, understanding the challenges of launching a new entity, and leading teams in a startup environment.

After an in-depth search, we presented a highly qualified candidate who ticked nearly every single box. After acing the interview process, they were hired and quickly became instrumental in building out their US entity. The MGA is actively writing business and has grown to a team of 5 underwriters.
