About
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Failed are the executive recruitment efforts that rest on outdated “Rolodex” or “established networks.”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.
Core Values
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.

“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.” – Roy T. Bennett
