Throughout his career in insurance, Malin has prioritized delivering exceptional service and a solution-oriented underwriting philosophy and looks to embody those same priorities within the entire team at Cobalt Specialty. His insurance experience comes from a combination of domestic and international carriers, across multiple product lines where he demonstrated a proven track record of profitable growth. He is committed to using this experience to deliver meaningful solutions to the Natural Resource segment in Canada as well as other underserved industries. Malin has a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a major in Economics from the University of Toronto as well as CIP, FCIP and CRM designations. During his free time, Malin enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, and a refreshing beverage with friends.

Having previously worked as an underwriter at an MGA as well as building out a profitable portfolio at an international carrier from inception, Gord saw a need for an agile insurance partner who could provide streamlined solutions to complex problems in one of Canada’s most vital industries. He is excited to draw on his past experience and build out an underwriting focused MGA that differentiates itself by its underwriters’ ability to execute both efficiently and creatively due to the local authority provided by their partners. Gord has his Bachelor of Commerce from Dalhousie University as well as his CIP designation. In his personal time, Gord has a love for (all!) sports and tries to carve out a round of golf or shinny when not attending to his 3 young children.
