Corgi Insurance Appoints AI Expert James Kullman as Underwriting Head
Corgi Insurance, a company known for its AI-driven solutions catering to burgeoning businesses, has appointed James Kullman as the head of underwriting for North America.
Kullman brings nearly 15 years of commercial insurance expertise, having previously served as assistant vice president at Chubb. His experience spans risk assessment, portfolio management, and product development, making him a valuable asset for Corgi as it aims to enhance its commercial offerings. At Chubb, Kullman managed underwriting for small and lower middle-market segments in the Pacific North region, adding significant insight into niche market strategies.
Expanding AI Integration in Underwriting
With a diverse background that includes stints at CNA Insurance, The Hartford, and Liberty Mutual, Kullman has worked extensively in construction risks, middle-market clients, and property and casualty insurance.

This strategic direction is part of Corgi's broader ambition to blend traditional underwriting expertise with state-of-the-art AI tools.

AI gives us an opportunity to rethink how underwriting works, from how we evaluate risk to how quickly we can deliver a quote.” This statement underscores the potential for AI to streamline operations and improve efficiency within the sector.

Corgi Insurance aims to revolutionize the insurance landscape by developing a platform that incorporates proprietary underwriting technology, in-house claims management, and a robust insurance infrastructure.
