“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

Currently CEO of the Managing General Agents Association (MGAA), a position he has held since September 2020, Michael Keating has crafted a successful and varied career in the industry.
Beginning his career as an underwriter in the company market, he joined AXA Commercial in 1999, managing their strategic MGA/DA partnerships before progressing to managing director of their personal lines business (excluding direct). He left AXA in 2011, and joined the board at UK General, one of the UK’s largest MGAs, where he took responsibility for the commercial portfolio, introducing a successful targeted UK small regional broker strategy.
From 2016, Keating held executive positions in the broker sector before working with West Hill Capital in launching a new MGA insurtech start-up called Qlaims.
Under his stewardship, the MGAA has grown to 400 members in the past three years and successfully extended its proposition into the Republic of Ireland, therefore putting the Association at the heart of the MGA community.
In 2022, Keating was included in the list of Global 100 industry leaders by Insurance Business magazine.
