Corgi Insurance has appointed Jeremy Eisemann — a former executive at the RAA and a veteran of Liberty Mutual — as its Head of Government Affairs and Associate General Counsel, the San Francisco-based insurer announced on June 30, 2026. The dual-role hire underscores Corgi's stated push to deepen its investment in regulatory engagement, legal leadership, and public policy at a moment when insurers broadly face mounting scrutiny from state and federal authorities.
What the Role Means
A Head of Government Affairs is the executive who manages a company's relationship with lawmakers, regulators, and public agencies — translating legislative risk into business strategy and representing the company's interests before policymakers. The Associate General Counsel title layers in direct legal authority, meaning Eisemann will not merely monitor the regulatory environment but help shape the company's formal legal posture within it. Combining both functions in a single appointment is a signal that Corgi views its regulatory and legal exposure as intertwined rather than separate disciplines.
Why Eisemann's Background Matters
Eisemann arrives with experience at two distinct points on the insurance spectrum. His time as an executive at the RAA — the Reinsurance Association of America, the principal trade and lobbying organization for reinsurers operating in the United States — gave him a view of the industry's policy architecture from the inside, including how trade groups shape the rules that carriers must then follow. His tenure at Liberty Mutual, one of the largest property and casualty insurers in the country, adds operational scale to that policy fluency. That combination of trade-body and carrier-side experience is precisely what a company building out a government affairs function needs: someone who knows how the rules are written and what it costs to comply with them.
The Regulatory Backdrop for Insurers
Corgi's move reflects a broader pattern across the insurance sector. Insurers are under pressure from state regulators on rate approvals, coverage mandates, and consumer protection rules, while federal policymakers have grown more attentive to systemic risk within the industry. For a company investing in its regulatory and public-policy infrastructure, placing a dual-hatted government affairs and legal executive at the table early is the kind of structural bet that pays off when a rule change is coming and the company needs both a lobbyist and a lawyer in the room simultaneously.
