About
Summit is a Canadian commercial insurance brokerage that describes itself as building "the brokerage of the future": not an insurtech that removes the broker, but a brokerage that gives brokers better tools. It places business insurance for small and mid-market companies and for private clients, across commercial auto and property, general liability, cyber, directors and officers, errors and omissions, builder's risk, group benefits and life. The company names technology, construction and realty, fintech, life sciences, manufacturing, and energy and power among the industries it serves. It was founded in 2022 by Davis Gilbert and Joshua Pillsbury, both managing partners, and runs its head office on St. Paul Street in Kelowna, British Columbia. Kieran Knock, who took the TechTO stage in 2021 while a team lead at APOLLO Insurance, leads revenue operations.
