Warner Pacific Insurance Services

Warner Pacific Insurance Services

Warner Pacific Insurance Services was built as a general agency serving independent insurance brokers. The company, headquartered in Westlake Village, California, acts as a bridge between carriers and the brokers who advise employer groups and individuals. Edward Lehman was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2026 to lead what it now describes as a national growth phase. The firm's core identity is a distribution and service platform, not an underwriting entity. The firm's book spans medical, ancillary, and Medicare lines, with $10B-plus in premiums across more than 88,000 in-force employer groups and 125,000 Medicare and individual members. Warner Pacific gives brokers access to multiple carrier partnerships, combining that panel with compliance guidance, continuing-education courses branded as Warner U, and a legislative resource it calls Ask Janet. The model is designed to help independent brokers place business efficiently without requiring them to build their own carrier relationships. The website lists a national footprint, though the firm does not specify the regional density of those relationships. Warner Pacific employs roughly 700 professionals and, as of mid-2026, has named Edward Lehman CEO to direct its stated next phase of expansion. The firm identifies in-force employer groups and premium volume as its primary scale metrics. Its public materials emphasize technology, compliance support, and broker education as the services layered on top of carrier access. Aside from the core general-agency operation, the firm has not disclosed adjacent ventures such as a philanthropic foundation, a real-asset arm, or membership in peer organizations like Tiger 21 or YPO. Warner Pacific's structural distinction lies in its position as a general agency rather than a broker, carrier, or aggregator. Unlike an MGA that assumes underwriting risk or a consolidator that acquires brokerages, Warner Pacific functions as a service layer connecting independent brokers to carriers. That architecture makes its revenue tied to transaction flow and administrative fees, not underwriting profit, placing it in a narrow class of insurance intermediaries that scale through breadth of carrier contracts and broker adoption.
