AGD Insurance Brokerage, a subsidiary of Escajeda Holdings, has launched a consulting division that broadens its services beyond personal and commercial insurance.
The new division will offer strategic business advisory services aimed at supporting companies with growth, operations, and expansion.
The move marks a shift in AGD’s business model, integrating insurance solutions with consulting to address a range of client needs. The company will continue to provide its existing insurance products, including property and casualty, business owner policies, auto, and home coverage, while also offering operational consulting, strategic growth support, entrepreneurial guidance, and acquisition advisory.
Kristan Kotz, president of AGD Insurance Brokerage, said the company’s direction draws on the experience of Escajeda Holdings founder Justin Escajeda. “AGD Insurance Brokerage stems from the success and forward-thinking vision of Escajeda Holdings founder, Justin Escajeda,” Kotz said.
She added that the firm aims to share its entrepreneurial lessons and provide business owners with tools and support for long-term growth. “AGD Insurance is more than just a brokerage – it’s a partner for long-term success,” she said.
AGD Insurance Brokerage, which is woman-operated, highlights collaboration, integrity, and practical solutions as core values. The company’s approach combines risk protection with business consulting to help clients manage their operations and adapt to changing needs.
According to Insurance Business America’s Elite Women 2025 survey, women make up 54.9% of the US insurance workforce, but only 22% of C-suite positions are held by women, highlighting a persistent leadership gap. The survey also found that 64% of respondents feel there is a lack of women leaders in the industry, reflecting ongoing challenges for gender representation at the executive level.
Studies cited also indicate that organizations with women in decision-making positions tend to perform better financially and show greater resilience during industry transitions.
