SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MGT, a vertically AI-native neo-insurer modernizing commercial P&C insurance, today announced the appointment of Garrett Koehn as Senior Advisor to drive strategic distribution expansion and high ROI AI use-cases for the modern insurance era across the United States.

“MGT is building what I have always wished someone would build. MGT is the first full-stack insurer built with AI from the ground up, applying technology to high ROI use-cases. They are pushing the limits of what AI can do and leveraging the technology to drive outcomes, not just for show.
