Arrowhead Intermediaries, the newly established parent brand for Bridge Specialty Group, Arrowhead Programs and One80 Intermediaries, has introduced a new organizational structure, brand identity and leadership framework for its specialty distribution platform.
The combined platform unites wholesale brokerage, program administration and specialty insurance businesses under a single brand. Chris Walker (pictured above) serves as chairman and Steve Boyd as chief executive officer. The organization has more than 7,000 employees and placed over $18 billion in premiums in 2024.
The rebranding follows similar moves in the sector, including the 2023 creation of Accession Risk Management Group by Risk Strategies and One80 Intermediaries, which brought more than 170 specialty firms under a unified structure, managing over $15 billion in premiums and generating about $1.5 billion in revenue.
“Arrowhead Intermediaries is built on the strength of highly specialized, entrepreneurial businesses coming together to create something greater than the sum of its parts,” said Walker. “With our collective scale and specialization, we are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful value for our carrier partners, customers and teammates across the globe.”
The company will operate through three divisions. Arrowhead Programs, one of the largest global insurance program portfolios via MGAs and MGUs, will be led by Tom Kussurelis.
Arrowhead Specialty, focusing on affinity and administrative services, captives, reinsurance, travel and accident, warranty, employee benefits, and life and health, will be led by Matthew F. Power.
Bridge Specialty Group, a global wholesaler offering solutions for complex and emerging risks, will be headed by Anurag Batta. One80 Intermediaries will be incorporated into all divisions but will retain its brand and customer-facing teams.
Arrowhead Programs and Bridge Specialty Group have previously collaborated on business development initiatives, including a shared team serving select retail distribution partners. That team contributed to over $9 billion in written premiums across 29 MGAs and 55 brands in 2022, strengthening joint market outreach.
