As Chief Insurance Innovation Officer, Roche will be responsible for driving continued insurance product and technological innovation both within MSI and across BRP Group more broadly.
Schultz, meanwhile, will be responsible for driving continued growth of MSI’s Multifamily product suite, and for creation and execution of new MGA products to be distributed both within BRP Group’s internal distribution network and with external distribution partners.
“I am excited to announce that Jim and Brian, both co-founders of the MGA of the Future, are expanding their roles in continuing to transform our business and the industry,” said Trevor Baldwin, BRP Group’s Chief Executive Officer.
“Their vision and leadership have resulted in fantastic results for the MGA, and their new roles are evidence of our continued focus and vision for growth and innovation within our MGA business and across BRP Group.”
