Gallagher’s Brandon Cole is no stranger to the Power Broker accolade — and for good reason. Year after year, he consistently delivers end results that enhance his clients’ work tremendously.

When one of Cole’s clients came to him with the ask of evaluating current insurance policies that were placed by another broker, he went above and beyond in his deliverables.

“[Brandon] analyzed the multiple insurance policies and repackaged them in a manner that better aligned our policies with our customized needs,” the client said. As a result, the client was able to secure more cost-effective policies “by optimizing the areas of greater liability, in particular the area of fiduciary coverage.”

Additionally, in a year challenged by an especially hard market in some lines, Cole has ensured his clients are not left confused or in the dark when it comes to how market conditions could affect their coverage needs.

Completing the notable trinity of Power Broker-worthy traits is Cole’s exceptional knowledge of both the industries in which he brokers and his clients’ actual lines of business. A client who specializes in a California county’s employee retirement system praised Cole for his expert advice.

“[He’s] very knowledgeable in public pension,” they said, “not just in terms of liability coverage, but he also stays up to speed on the changing landscape affecting public pensions, especially in California.”
