Matt Sackett is President and CEO of DOXA Insurance Holdings. He has over 20 years of MGA-specific experience, driving dramatic growth through all phases of his career. Matt’s experience starts at a seven year-old MGA, where he grew a division from $4mil in annual premium volume sales to over $22mil. From there Matt started a specialized MGA from the ground-up, selling it 5 years later for a 40% annualized rate of return. Most recently Matt worked for a large broker-owned MGA where, as head of sales, premium and revenue growth doubled during his tenure, stopping an eight consecutive year contraction in premium and revenues prior to his involvement. During his career, Matt has had the opportunity to engage with hundreds of different MGAs and has always been impressed with both their industry specific knowledge and the strength of their teams. After selling his MGA and watching all that he built evaporate into a larger organization, and combining this with the fact that many MGA owners want to take some, but not all of their chips off the table, Matt and his business partners conceived DOXA.
