\u201cWe are thrilled to team up with Greenhouse Specialty,\u201d stated Jeff Lamb, President of Programs, Alliances, and Insurtech at Markel. \u201cEnvironmental risks present significant complexity and challenges.

The Markel Style aligns well with Greenhouse Specialty\u2019s values, and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship together.\u201d<\/p>\n
A key element of Greenhouse Specialty\u2019s operating model is its limited distribution channel. \u201cWe\u2019re not chasing volume. We\u2019re building precision,\u201d said Bernardo.

Rubin and Bernardo each have a track record of building successful programs. Together, they saw an opportunity to do something innovative. With complementary strengths and a shared vision, they set out to collaborate on a new venture in the environmental market \u2013 one rooted in innovation, responsibility, and long-term impact. Their goal: to create something that not only drives growth but also reflects the values they\u2019ve built their reputations on. The idea of the Greenhouse Specialty name offered a quiet power of a greenhouse itself \u2013 a space designed to nurture, protect, and accelerate growth. It\u2019s a name that reflects the intention to create a place where potential is cultivated, resilience is built, and growth isn\u2019t just possible \u2013 it\u2019s expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe built Greenhouse Specialty to prove that doing business the right way, putting people and purpose first, can drive exceptional results. Markel shares that belief, and this collaboration gives us the platform to scale it in a way that changes what brokers can expect in how they do business,\u201d said Rubin.<\/p>\n
