LSI, founded by the late John Linneman and current president Raymond Brown in 2011, aims to deliver exceptional service while writing a wide range of essential personal lines insurance solutions for California and three additional West Coast states.

The partnership creates further geographical diversification for SSIU, expanding our digital platform into four new states and serving our mission of creating something bigger than us all,” said SSIU Founder and President Taylor Norton.

SSIU aims to leverage its technology infrastructure and innovative underwriting approach, to enhance LSI’s offering while continuing to deliver exceptional service to carrier partners and policyholders alike, according to Andrew Fowles, SSIU’s Chief Underwriting Officer and former President of Canopius US, a current carrier partner of LSI.
