Fowler joins Ethos with two decades in the life insurance industry, most recently from Corebridge Financial where he led all life insurance distribution. Before that Matt spent 12 years with Lincoln Financial where he held various sales leadership roles locally and nationally, ultimately leading the brokerage wholesaling team nationally.

“Matt’s passion for serving agents and delivering innovation to agents and clients in our industry make him a perfect match for Ethos,” said Peter Colis, CEO of Ethos. “We are thrilled to have Matt join our mission of protecting families.”

Fowler's hire follows another incredible year of growth for Ethos. In the first half of the year the company added new ROP and IUL products with John Hancock and Ameritas, expanded distribution through new partnerships including SoFI, and protected tens of thousands of families.

“With innovation at its core, Ethos has transformed the transactional workflow and product portfolio of agents, delivering the client experience every agent wants. I couldn’t think of a better place for me,” said Fowler. “I’m excited to be part of the team disrupting the industry and rewriting the future of life insurance.”

Ethos has been growing at a significant rate and increasing its year-over-year momentum. With the launch of its ROP product, Ethos added John Hancock to it’s distinguished lineup of industry leaders including Legal & General America, TruStage™ Financial Group, Inc., Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., and Mutual of Omaha. Revenue and clients have each grown by more than 50 percent year-over-year, and the company expects to issue $50 billion of life insurance coverage in 2024.
