Under Barton’s leadership, ALKEME has also won numerous honors, including being named in the 2021 Top 50 Brokers of Insurance Journal and the 2021 Top 100 Brokerages, Fast Brokerages and Best Places to Work in Insurance of Business Insurance.
“I know it sounds cliché, but I am laser-focused on changing the insurance industry for the better,” he says. “We are building technology, processes and products that are meeting the needs of a changing world. It is imperative that the insurance industry keeps up with the fast pace of change, and I want to make sure I do my part.”
Prior to ALKEME, Barton founded Venture Pacific Insurance, a regional brokerage in southern California that was acquired by ALKEME during the merger. Barton also co-founded Brokkrr, a digital lead generation insurtech platform.
Barton received his BA from the University of Arizona. He has been included in IBA’s Hot 100 list four times in a row. He was also recognized in Vertafore’s Top 25 Disruptors in the insurance industry.
