SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corgi Insurance today announced the appointment of James Kullman as Head of Underwriting, North America. Kullman brings nearly 15 years of experience in commercial insurance underwriting and management, with expertise spanning risk assessment, portfolio management, product development and underwriting strategy.

At Corgi, Kullman will lead efforts to advance commercial underwriting across North America, leveraging AI to improve risk selection, develop underwriting guidelines, strengthen portfolio management and support regulatory compliance. His role will focus on combining traditional underwriting expertise with AI-assisted tools and processes to help make commercial insurance more efficient, responsive and accessible.

"I'm excited to bring my experience in traditional underwriting to a team that is building new technology and infrastructure for the industry."

Corgi is building a full-stack insurance platform that combines proprietary underwriting technology with in-house claims handling and insurance infrastructure.
