Goosehead Insurance (NASDAQ:GSHD), founded in 2003 by industry veteran Rodney Raines, operates as an independent property and casualty insurance agency network based in Westlake, Texas. The company went public in 2021 and has since expanded its footprint by leveraging a technology-driven model to connect consumers with a broad range of insurance carriers. Over the years, Goosehead has grown from a single office to a national network of Remote Field Marketing Offices (RFMOs), offering a highly personalized shopping experience for clients seeking coverage solutions.
The firm specializes in personal lines and small commercial insurance products, including homeowners, auto, umbrella, flood, renters, and small business policies. Through its proprietary digital platform, Goosehead enables its licensed advisors to quote and bind coverage from a panel of more than 70 top-rated carriers, ensuring that clients receive competitive pricing and tailored protection. The platform’s user-friendly interface streamlines policy management, claims processing, and renewals, while providing advisors with real-time analytics to optimize customer outcomes.
Goosehead’s network of over 600 RFMOs spans nearly all 50 states, allowing the company to serve clients across diverse markets and demographic profiles. The firm’s hybrid approach combines the convenience of an online insurance marketplace with the consultative expertise of dedicated advisors, forging deeper customer relationships and fostering high retention rates. By investing in continuous platform enhancements and strategic carrier partnerships, Goosehead has positioned itself to address evolving consumer preferences, regulatory developments, and emerging risk trends.
Leadership at Goosehead is headed by Chief Executive Officer Jeff Glass, who previously served in senior operations roles at the company, and Chief Financial Officer Scott Wigle, responsible for guiding financial strategy and investor relations. Under their stewardship, the executive team continues to emphasize disciplined growth, margin expansion, and the recruitment of experienced advisors.
