In 2014, Dominic Volini and Geno Mattioda purchased a long-established brokerage they had been managing and rebranded it with a focus on the potential of technology to transform the insurance industry. Volini and Mattioda aim to be drivers of Chicago’s tech industry, believing that by entering the space now, they can better forecast risk product and policy needs, then work between carriers and customers to meet those needs.
