Agile Underwriting Solutions has opened a new office in Burnaby, BC, marking the managing general agent’s expansion into western Canada.
The company has also appointed Mashood Ali to serve as vice-president of its operations in western Canada.
Ali will be based out of Agile’s BC office, playing an active role in growing and strengthening the company’s brand in the region. He will accomplish this via underwriting and business development initiatives, such as educational seminars, marketing and bringing on new markets and brokers in the western region.
Ali has experience in various underwriting and leadership positions with major MGAs and insurers throughout Canada, a release noted. He also has a proven record of maintaining long-term business relationships with brokers and insurers both domestically and overseas.
“His strong, winning attitude and personality are assets that will complement and enhance Agile’s ability to meet the needs of our broker partners as we continue to provide quality, innovative products,” the firm said in a company release.
