Mike Miller launches E&S managing general agency

Pivix Specialty Insurance Services Inc. Thursday said it has launched operations as a managing general agency focusing on the excess and surplus lines market.

Former Scottsdale Insurance President Mike Miller, who helped found the company, will serve as CEO and president of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Pivix, the fledgling MGA said in a statement.

Pivix founders and management team Mike Miller, Ken Levine, Joe Griffith and Sandy Vertunon are all alumni of Nationwide Inc., the statement said.

Pivix will offer excess and surplus property and casualty coverages for targeted segments, which will be distributed exclusively through wholesale brokers, the statement said.

In 2018, Mr. Miller founded Ategrity Specialty Insurance Co., from which he stepped away in December 2022.
