About Us:
Vertical Risk Management, LLC (VRM) was founded in 2023 by three partners who were long-time veterans of the insurance industry. Recognizing a need for more focused and personalized insurance services, Doug Gatlin, Jeffrey Hallman, and Gundi Arnold formed VRM to concentrate on niche markets, or “verticals,” where they could apply their expertise, intelligence, and creativity. Rather than trying to be all things to all people, VRM is dedicated to serving a select group of industries with precision and care. Our mission is to provide innovative insurance solutions that align with the unique needs of life sciences and technology enterprises, empowering businesses to manage risks and seize opportunities at every stage of growth.
Vertical Risk Advisory Management Board
One of the most unique things about the VRM life sciences and technology practice is the establishment of the VRM life sciences and technology advisory board. This advisory board provides VRM with a unique insight and understanding of the needs and challenges of this particular vertical. This goes far beyond what any other insurance brokerage firm does and clearly demonstrates our commitment to meeting the insurance and risk management challenges and needs of your industry in the most insightful and efficient way possible.
