Contemporary Risk Design
ABOUT

Hello, I'm Dan Harrison.

I founded Contemporary Risk Design to give brokers and employer groups clear, independent advice on stop loss, captives, MEWAs and medical & RX costs.

Dan Harrison, CEO and Consultant, Contemporary Risk Design

My background

I have spent more than 18 years in stop loss sales and consulting. Most recently I was Director of Business Development at Skyward Specialty Accident & Health, where I built relationships with producers and presented complex insurance solutions to external partners.

Working with brokers and employer groups on self-funded plans has taught me to value explaining the structure plainly and setting out the trade-offs honestly.

How I work

I start with the plan, the claims experience and how much risk the group wants to retain. I compare the routes, whether that is traditional stop loss, a captive, a MEWA or something else, and set out the trade-offs. Then I take the design to market and stay involved through renewal.

I work with brokers and employer groups directly, so you deal with me from first conversation to renewal.
