“The goal here is to provide yet another reason why retail agents don’t have to go anywhere but Bridge Specialty Group to place their risks. And when we look at what we’re building with Cogitate, that singular solution, the technical side, I have all the faith in the world. The change management side, the side around how that technology translates into a differentiated experience above, beyond, just the pixels on the screen, and deepens the relationship between our team in that retail customer. That’s where the real promise is at.”— Ted Stuckey, Head of Digital Distribution, Bridge Specialty Group & President, LocalEdge
Together, Cogitate and Bridge Specialty Group are reshaping the wholesale distribution of specialty and surplus lines insurance, driven not just by technology but by reimagining how wholesalers, carriers, and retail agents can work together. During our 3-part series, Bridge Specialty Group’s Joe Failla, COO, and Ted Stuckey, Head of Distribution, join Cogitate’s CEO, Arvind Kaushal, to reflect on their journey from a single-carrier, single-state digital platform pilot to a multi-carrier, 50-state marketplace for E&S personal lines. They also share the practical realities of building a digital distribution platform at scale within a wholesale operation.
Part 1 of our series focuses on the retail agent experience, the ways BSG is driving platform adoption, and the benefits being realized.
