Growth through hires DeCotis has been actively expanding its commercial lines team with multiple hires from 2023 to 2025, signaling capacity to handle more agency partnerships, cross-sell opportunities across property, casualty, and specialty products, and faster quote turnarounds for surplus lines.

Leadership depth Recent appointments to director and senior broker roles (director of commercial lines and senior commercial lines account manager) suggest a strategic push to deepen underwriting knowledge and client service, presenting a strong cross-sell proposition for agencies needing expert guidance on complex risks.

Digital footprint A formal tech stack featuring MySQL, analytics and tag tools indicates data-driven marketing and underwriting capabilities. This positions DeCotis to tailor targeted outreach to agents with niche or high-value surplus lines opportunities.

Market positioning As an independently owned surplus lines wholesaler with a focus on local expertise and competitive terms, DeCotis can target independent agents seeking specialized underwriting support and access to preferred carriers in the surplus and specialty markets.

Revenue signals Reported revenue of $100M–$250M and a mid-size employee base imply a scalable platform with capacity for expanded agency tiers, including small to mid-market agencies looking for more robust surplus lines solutions and potential co-underwriting or program partnerships.
