The Demotech Story — Thirty-three years in sixty-six minutes

PR Newswire

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this year, David Wright, Senior Vice President, Managing Director, Beach and Associates, Ltd., interviewed Joseph Petrelli, President and Co-founder, Demotech, Inc. As the first rating service to review and rate independent regional and specialty carriers, Demotech found itself competing with a functional monopoly. The podcast between David and Joe is more than an amusing historical accounting of the growth of Demotech; it is a lesson plan for anyone who has the courage and acumen to challenge the status quo to bring competition to a marketplace.

Demotech, Inc. (PRNewsFoto/Demotech, Inc.) (PRNewsfoto/Demotech, Inc.)

The podcast can be found at https://notunreasonable.com/?s=demotech&id=m or by visiting www.notunreasonable.com and searching for the key term, Demotech.
