MGT, a vertically AI-native neo-insurer, has announced the appointment of Garrett Koehn as Senior Advisor.
In his new role, Koehn will focus on driving strategic distribution expansion and high-ROI AI use cases across the US insurance market.
He brings over three decades of experience in complex commercial insurance, beginning his career at Marsh in 1994. He has been a leader in five successful private equity transactions involving Tri-City Brokerage, Bisys, Crump, TIH, and CRC Group, where he held senior leadership and partner positions.
Koehn currently serves as Managing Partner at IA Seed Ventures, sits on the Advisory Board of Hudson Structured Capital, and is a Partner at Barcelona Ventures. He was formerly Managing Partner of The Batchery incubator in Berkeley and mentors startups through Lloyd’s Lab in London, BrokerTech Ventures, and Brown University’s Innovation Lab. He also sits on numerous advisory boards, primarily in the fintech sector.
He previously served as President of Brokerage at CRC Group, overseeing more than $13 billion in annual premiums and leading strategic initiatives across international markets, with a particular focus on London, as well as fintech integration. During his tenure, he also held roles as Chief Innovation Officer and President of ExecPro.
“At MGT, we believe great technology powers great people. Garrett is a titan in the industry and is well known for his 31-year track record of driving innovation and growth in insurance,” said Graham Topol, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of MGT. “Garrett has pioneered so much in the industry, and we are lucky to have him sharing his wisdom with our team.”
“MGT is building what I have always wished someone would build. MGT is the first full-stack insurer built with AI from the ground up, applying technology to high ROI use-cases. They are pushing the limits of what AI can do and leveraging the technology to drive outcomes, not just for show. I am ecstatic about the opportunity to work with MGT to expand smarter, faster, and more accessible insurance coverage for small businesses across the U.S.,” commented Koehn.
