About Kent Gallego

I’m a fan of emerging industries. I’m also happiest when I’m busy pushing the boundaries of possibility. I’ve used this drive to write some of the largest portfolios in North America. With 8 years’ experience in Renewable Energy Insurance, I can see exciting growth potential and uncharted possibilities. Early on in my role as Renewable Energy Underwriter, I was selected to relocate to Miami and launch operations. As an office of one, I delivered everything from marketing, underwriting, and analysis to administration and billing. Not only did we significantly exceed all revenue goals and expand into new global markets, but we wrote a diverse renewable portfolio across solar, wind, and Hydro. I’m comfortable tackling a steep learning curve while looking ahead to capitalize on new opportunities. I want to help grow premiums, expand territories, and build a great renewables company. In short— I’m driven to fuel rapid growth in the renewables insurance sector. My work means I get to support innovators while catalyzing the energy revolution- I appreciate diversity and am most satisfied when I’m on teams with people who bring skills and talents from their own unique backgrounds. I excel in environments that foster learning, prioritize information sharing, and support people to take the lead on new ideas.SPECIALTIES Business Development Underwriting Relationship Management Global Renewable Projects Policy & Rating Strategy Due Diligence Business Operations Risk Analysis
