It's All About You
It really is. Are you an insurance professional seeking to grow your career? Are you frustrated that you don’t really know how to advance? Are you a college student considering a career in insurance? Do you work for an insurance carrier, agency, or an InsurTech startup? Are you interested in the future of insurance and what your part might be in it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are who we write this for.
Our co-founders, Carly Burnham and Tony Cañas, worked at Nationwide Insurance where they met while helping to build a new chapter of the Gen Y Associate Resource Group (young professional group) in the Des Moines, Iowa office. They used the Gen Y ARG and Yammer, Nationwide’s in-house social network, to help young insurance professionals grow in their career and to write about the future of the industry. When they both moved on to other companies, they missed the work of helping fellow insurance professionals grow and decided to continue it at an industry wide scale, and thus, in late 2014, InsNerds was born.
