<\/a><\/a>\nThe move expands Cover Whale\u2019s core programs, giving retail agents a platform to place risks that sit outside the company\u2019s underwriting appetite.<\/p>
\nBreakwater Markets will operate as an independent digital wholesale brokerage platform focused on commercial transportation. It is designed to handle a broader range of risks, including non-standard, surplus lines, and more complex placements.<\/p>
\n\u201cFor a long time we\u2019ve had to send a lot of good business elsewhere simply because it didn\u2019t fit our programs,\u201d said Kevin Abramson, President of Cover Whale. \u201cBreakwater gives us a way to keep working with those agents and support a broader range of risks. It is a natural extension of what we\u2019ve already built, and an important step in making the platform more complete.\u201d<\/p>
\nCover Whale\u2019s existing platform processes close to $7bn in annual premium submissions, with only a portion ultimately bound. Breakwater allows more of those risks to be placed within the group, rather than being sent elsewhere, and gives agents a clear route to place risks that fall outside Cover Whale\u2019s underwriting appetite.<\/p>
\nMr. Atkielski joins Breakwater Markets from Jencap Insurance Services, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President and National Practice Leader for Transportation, overseeing the firm's wholesale transportation brokerage division across the United States.<\/p>
\nHe has spent his career building and growing transportation businesses, including co-founding High Point Underwriters, a prominent program administrator focused on independent contractor truckers, which was later acquired by K2 Insurance Services.<\/p>
\n\u201cCover Whale has built a strong platform in a tough part of the market,\u201d said Mr. Atkielski. \u201cBreakwater is an opportunity to build on that, giving agents a straightforward way to place attractive business that doesn\u2019t necessarily fall within the core programs, while keeping the same focus on service and execution.\u201d<\/p>
\nBreakwater Markets will sit alongside Cover Whale\u2019s existing programs and leverage its underlying infrastructure and market relationships.<\/p>
