About The Fractional Collective

The carrier, the agency,
the marketplace,
and the tech.

The Fractional Collective is senior operators, assembled around your growth stage — fractional growth, operations, and business development for InsurTech. We bring in the right operator for the discipline your engagement calls for, rather than stretching one generalist across everything.

Founding Operator · Marc Berry

Performance media and revenue optimization have been the through-line for twenty years — Allstate, Esurance, and Envision Insurance. Twenty years directing performance media and revenue operations across carrier, agency, and marketplace seats, with two P&C agencies built and sold along the way. Medicare Advantage and ACA distribution are the more recent specialization layered on top of that operating history.

P&C Insurance

Personal & Commercial Lines

Carrier and agency P&L across personal and commercial P&C — multi-state distribution, carrier appointments, underwriting partnerships, and the operating cadence that keeps loss ratios honest.

Carrier executive · Agency owner (built & sold twice)

Health & Medicare

Enrollment & Distribution

Medicare Advantage, ACA, and group — AEP planning, agent supply, compliant lead economics, and the funnel math that survives CMS scrutiny and a bad October.

Licensed agency operator · Distribution strategist

Marketplaces & Lead Gen

Platform & Distribution

Comparison platforms and performance channels — bid logic, routing, lead-quality scoring, and the carrier-side economics that decide whether the marketplace is a business or a subsidy.

Marketplace GM · Performance media across affiliate, search, social, and call networks

AI & Operating Systems

Commercial Intelligence

Underwriting copilots, agent-facing GPTs, quote-to-bind automation, and reporting systems the ops team will actually open on Monday. AI adoption measured in EBITDA, not slideware.

Four Operating Beliefs

The commitments behind every engagement.

  1. I

    Not consultants. Operators.

    We've owned the P&L, hired the team, signed the carrier contracts, spent the media, and been the person on the board call when the number missed. The advice comes with accountability attached.

  2. II

    One seat, in every chair.

    Carrier, agency, marketplace, technology, performance marketing, AI — the same operator, in every seat. That is what 360-degree insurance experience actually looks like, and it's why the diagnosis takes weeks, not quarters.

  3. III

    Cadence beats charisma.

    Growth compounds through operating rhythm — weekly scorecards, honest pipeline reviews, clear ownership maps, QBRs that end in decisions. Not through a better speech at the offsite.

  4. IV

    AI that moves numbers.

    AI is only useful when it changes underwriting, quoting, routing, or retention. Agentic workflows and automation get adopted by real operators — or they don't count as transformation.
