This year, 123 insurance professionals from across the country and overseas were selected for the 2021 Class of Emerging Leaders and were invited to participate in the 2021 Virtual Emerging Leaders Conference.

Unqork is partnering with Marsh to build a new digital platform that streamlines insurance placement and policy management services in the U.S. The platform will create a digital workspace where Marsh’s brokers, and the insurers they work with, can quickly and accurately perform key placement and policy services. The new platform includes seamless data capture, end-to-end renewal/placement workflows, digital submissions and quotes, self-service dashboards and financial and coverage comparison tools. It is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2021 with casualty coverage, expanding to property, financial and professional liability and other specialty lines throughout the year.
