Chief executive says ’MGAs are well-positioned to fill gaps’

Managing general agents (MGAs) have emerged as “key players” in the insurance industry, with advancements in technology having “revolutionised” the way they operate.

That was according to Tapoly’s chief executive Janthana Kaenprakhamroy, who made the claim after joining Biba’s Networks and Managing Agents Advisory Board (NetMGA) last week (10 May 2023).

The board provides advice and guidance to Biba to help it represent its full spectrum of members.

Kaenprakhamroy told Insurance Times that the MGA landscape was “promising and presents significant opportunities”.

She added: “MGAs have emerged as key players in the insurance industry, offering specialised expertise and tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of different markets.”
