Barlow joins the AI-native firm following a tenure at RealManage Insurance Services, where he established their insurance division and generated $20 million in bound premium. His background includes senior leadership roles at major industry players such as Acrisure, NFP Property & Casualty, and Brown & Brown Insurance, where he managed operations with revenue reaching up to $30 million. CEO Nico Laqua stated that Barlow’s expertise in navigating complex, underserved market segments will be instrumental as Corgi scales its platform to better serve brokers and property owners.

At Corgi, Barlow will focus on applying underwriting intelligence to improve coverage accessibility.
