Private investment firm GI Partners, in collaboration with insurance industry veterans Brad Emmons and Brian Hanuschak, has launched a new tech-enabled Managing General Agency (MGA) platform that will focus on acquiring and growing a diversified portfolio of MGAs across numerous lines.<\/p>\n

\"gi-partners-logo\"The new platform’s strategy centres on “underwriting excellence, technology-driven operations, and a strong service oriented toward carriers, brokers, and policyholders.”<\/p>\n

Together, Emmons and Hanuschak bring over five decades of combined experience building and scaling insurance operations.<\/p>\n

Emmons co-founded Orchid Underwriters in the late 90s, scaling the business through organic growth, acquisitions, and multiple private equity recapitalisations before its successful sale to broking group Brown & Brown in 2022. Most recently, he served as CEO of property reciprocal Forza Insurance Holdings.<\/p>\n

\u201cGI 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,” said Emmons.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m thrilled to support the next generation of MGA leaders alongside GI Partners,\u201d said Hanuschak. \u201cInnovation, scale, and culture will define the winners in this space, and we\u2019re committed to helping entrepreneurs thrive.”<\/p>\n

Steve Johnson, Director at GI Partners, added: “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.”<\/p>\n

Hoon Cho, Managing Director and Co-Head of Private Equity at GI Partners, commented: “This launch reflects GI\u2019s long-standing ambition to build great companies. We look forward to partnering with Brad and Brian to build a world-class MGA platform that creates compelling value for our carrier partners, management, employees, and investors.”<\/p>\n
