Helping You Optimize
Your Enterprise

Strategic Reviews

Our particular business focus is in the universe of insurance including life insurance, health, and property casualty insurance.  We will assign one or more partners to engage in a multi-dimensional review of current strategies and an analysis of possible strategic changes. This may include acquisitions, new business initiatives covering product offerings and distribution introduction of potential partners, divesting projects or assets or other options.  We provide strategic reviews for existing companies as well as start-ups.   We anticipate questions and provide recommendations on:
 

  • How to raise the issue with key stakeholders, including Board members, owners/investors, distribution channels, regulators and community leaders, employees, new recruits essential to your future and many others.
     

  • We create, with you, realistic timetables for decisions, contingency plans, media and investor relations questions and help anticipate many contingencies that are often overlooked.  In essence, we provide operational and marketing guard rails because we bring a massive array of proven talent to address your needs, from planning and launch to competitive analysis, growth and distribution strategies and savvy business alignments with carriers, broker dealers and others.
     

  • We may, if requested, also suggest other strategic partners, investors and institutional groups who may be critical to the success of your enterprise.
     

  • We rehearse with robust Q&A on what to expect as your plan moves from “thinking” to “successful doing.”

Interim Executive Assignments

It is not uncommon that any enterprise may need to replace a key executive on short notice due to illness, death or a business crisis that requires discretion with Board members, key clients and others.  We have unrivalled success at identifying and vetting key executives such as CEO, CFO, CMO and others who are vital to your success.  We take each assignment seriously, assign one lead so you have a single point of contact, and, because of our extensive network throughout the insurance and financial sector, we can fast track the right find for interim and permanent positions faster than executive search firms who often have noteworthy overhead.

Reinsurance

There are many business problems that can be solved through the creative use of reinsurance transactions and relationships. Insurex Partners are well-experienced in all uses of reinsurance and are familiar with a large network of reinsurers providing solutions to the needs of carriers.  Avoid pundits who claim to understand reinsurance, E&O, D&O and related issues.  Ask us so we can help you understand risk assumption, transfer of risk to third parties, indemnification, and related issues. 

Executive Mentoring

You may have a senior executive who is distracted by a personal crisis, and alarm bells are beginning to sound with leadership teams, clients, and others.  An individual may engage in actions such as bullying and harassment, intimidation, sexual misconduct or be demonstrating such profound stress that this is undermining organizational success.  We assign a seasoned mentor to work with that person in a discreet, confidential manner on a flat fee or negotiated basis.  In cases where we feel the individual is best exited by the organization because the risk of their behaviors, we follow our fiduciary responsibility to the client and make such a recommendation.  In short, we help the enterprise differentiate a person with a problem from the problem person.  Success is achieved when mentoring is presented as an investment in that executive and not as a punitive measure. In other cases, replacing a senior executive may be unpleasant but is in the best interest of all stakeholders.
