Corgi Insurance Appoints New VP for Trucking Program

Corgi Insurance has appointed Daniel Hausman as vice president of its trucking program, highlighting its commitment to expanding its reach in the specialized field of commercial trucking insurance.

Recognized for his impressive track record in developing commercial trucking insurance programs, Hausman will be an asset to Corgi Insurance as it seeks to broaden its insurance offerings. His career has been marked by significant achievements, such as the development of three major trucking insurance programs, including growing Nirvana’s program to $30 million and CSMV Underwriters to nearly $20 million within a year. His role at Transportation Insurance Experts led to 180% growth in the segment, showcasing his capabilities in underwriting and compliance. Emily Yuan, Corgi's COO, remarked that Hausman’s expertise aligns perfectly with the company’s goals to extend its footprint in transportation insurance.

Strategic Expansion into Trucking

Corgi’s strategic move to establish an admitted carrier in mid-2026 and its latest venture into the trucking sector reflect a broader vision to shift from venture-backed technology to small commercial markets. The trucking program necessitates specialized underwriting skills, comprehensive understanding of fleet and driver data, and robust capacity networks. Hausman’s appointment underscores the company’s emphasis on enhancing underwriting in a field increasingly shaped by data-driven technologies.

Implications for Insurance Professionals

For brokers and industry professionals, Hausman’s new role at Corgi Insurance presents a notable opportunity to tap into the evolving criteria of trucking insurance. His focus on diverse distribution channels—retail, wholesale, managing general agents (MGAs), and embedded approaches—could redefine how the trucking segment is reached. The integration of AI in underwriting, highlighted by Hausman's previous success with Nirvana, adds a layer of future-readiness that may become increasingly crucial in this competitive market.

  • Recognition of Hausman’s expertise aligns with Corgi’s strategic goals in the trucking sector.
  • The trucking program demands robust underwriting and data analysis capabilities.
  • Professionals should stay informed about Corgi’s evolving underwriting criteria.
