“My decision to sell Sharp Insurance was not an easy one, but I am incredibly passionate about digitizing the broker channel and want to focus my time there.” says Gemayel. “Brokers are the future of insurance and will always be the best way for distributing insurance. It’s my goal, and the goal of Trufla to provide world-class digital tools to make every part of the customer journey frictionless, from acquisition to purchasing, to servicing clients.”

Gemayel, along with his leadership team, will be focused on delivering a series of new technology launches this year and in early 2022. Launches include realtime quote and bind capabilities, an enhanced communications platform, and using data to strengthen brokerage’s offerings and capability.
