About Us

Talent Partners You Can Trust

At Brown Davis, we believe the insurance industry can be better and know from personal experience that insurance and insurtech companies deserve better when it comes to talent access and recruitment.

Failed are the executive recruitment efforts that rest on outdated “Rolodex” or “established networks.” Failed are recruitment processes that diminish the employer’s brand by leaving candidates stranded. 

Brown Davis was founded to be a change agent in the insurance industry and make a positive impact through people. We bring a fresh perspective and approach to the talent acquisition process focused on diverse, emerging, and progressive talent.

 

Driven by win-win partnerships for clients, candiDates, and employees

Core Values

Tenacity

We’re self-starters who get things done. To affect change takes perseverance and determination. No matter what challenge a client gives us, we’ll roll up our sleeves and deliver results – every time.

Servant Leaders

We thrive when we look out to the interest of others first. It's a company priority to operate from a servant-hearted approach to all that we do, whether supporting clients, candidates, or our own team.

Excellence

The principle “say what you’re going to do, and then do as you say” is table stakes. We exceed the status quo and elevate the client/candidate experience so it doesn’t feel transactional or impersonal.

Evolution

We know the industry will continue to adapt and change. We want to be the trusted source when leaders want to innovate and transform their companies when their business and talent strategy connect.

We invite you to see how pleasant and refreshing the executive recruiting process can be as it’s more than a transaction to us. It’s a partnership we are privileged and honored to serve and support.
