Corgi Insurance Names Robert E. “Rob” Barlow Jr. Executive Vice President of Partnerships. The appointment marks another milestone for Corgi Insurance as the company expands its presence across community association, condominium, homeowners association and property & casualty insurance markets. “In addition, the company intends to expand its leadership team and support long-term growth in the specialty insurance segments.
Barlow brings to the organization over 30 years of insurance leadership experience. He has developed deep expertise over his career in specialty commercial insurance programs for community associations. He also has experience in habitational insurance for the condominium, homeowners association, resort, active adult, high-rise and other markets. This means his background is a good fit for Corgi Insurance’s drive to modernize insurance infrastructure and provide faster and more accessible coverage solutions.
“Rob’s track record in both community association insurance and broader brokerage operations makes him an important voice as we continue building insurance products for complex, underserved segments of the market,” said Nico Laqua, co-founder and CEO of Corgi. “His perspective will help us better understand the needs of brokers, property owners, associations, and businesses as we scale our platform.”
Barlow Brings Decades of Leadership Experience
Most recently, Barlow was an executive with RealManage Insurance Services. There, he was instrumental in building the company’s insurance division from scratch. He also contributed to $20 million in bound premium through focused sales efforts and strong broker relationships. He also helped grow operations throughout the United States and helped develop insurance programs specific to community associations.
Barlow has served in senior leadership positions with Acrisure, NFP Property & Casualty, Brown & Brown Insurance and then Wachovia Insurance, now Wells Fargo. In those assignments he ran business operations with revenues ranging from $1.5 million to $30 million. He also oversaw up to five offices and managed teams of 52 employees. He also drove substantial annual new business production across a number of insurance operations.
Supporting Growth in Specialty Insurance Markets
Barlow has a proven track record of building successful insurance businesses. He built a $20 million book of business in annual insurance premiums. Simultaneously, he drove operational efficiency through office consolidation initiatives and cost-effective management. As a result, he was able to maintain margin profitability and also expand market reach in competitive insurance environments.
He has maintained a leadership style that emphasizes giving clients strong coverage solutions in the face of changing market conditions, pricing challenges, and carrier capacity constraints. His appointment is therefore expected to further strengthen Corgi Insurance’s continued investment in technology-driven insurance services and specialised underwriting capabilities.
“Community association insurance is a highly specialized market where coverage quality, carrier relationships, and operational execution matter,” said Barlow. “I’m excited to support Corgi as it applies technology, underwriting intelligence, and modern infrastructure to create better insurance experiences.”
With Barlow joining its executive leadership team, Corgi Insurance continues advancing its expansion strategy while strengthening its expertise across community association insurance and the broader property & casualty insurance industry.
