Great American Insurance Group is pleased to announce the formation of a dedicated embedded insurance team. Building upon the company’s 20 years of experience offering embedded insurance products, the new team will streamline and simplify the distribution of these offerings.
This newly-formed group, led by Chris Banocy, Divisional Senior Vice President, will assist in finding and evaluating new embedded insurance opportunities for Great American Insurance Group’s specialty property and casualty operations. In addition, the team will develop a suite of custom embedded products, including ticket and travel coverages, which are anticipated to be available in 2024.
“Technology has changed the way consumers make purchases, whether in traditional sectors like auto sales and retail, or in digital spaces. Our mission is to make the process of obtaining coverage as convenient as possible by bringing insurance to the point of sale,” said Rich Suter, Divisional Group President. “While Great American has vast experience in the embedded channel, the demand for embedded coverages continues to grow at a rapid pace. The formation of a dedicated team allows us to expand our distribution reach and reinforces Great American’s commitment to this channel.”
Great American Insurance Group’s embedded solutions team offers a broad range of flexible, customizable specialty commercial and personal lines products for hundreds of niche industries, leading APIs and other embedded technology.
