You are more than the history of your insurance claims.

There’s so much more to the story of your business than shock losses and industry pivots.  We make sure to learn about your whole business because articulating who you are as more than a series of Profit and Loss statements allows carriers to confidently cover you and your business.

Competitive Edge takes time where others gloss over the details.

Brenda Jo Robyn

Brenda Jo started her career as an epidemiologist. With degrees in microbiology and virology, she launched into a career in public health communications where she helped shape policy around many statewide public health initiatives. As she became more involved in the non-profit world she noticed that many companies faced deepening frustration, lack of knowledge, and insight into their insurance coverage.

Claim after claim was rejected and CEOs of the companies she worked with lamented high insurance costs. The more research she did the clearer her next career move became.

Brenda Jo’s background outside of the insurance world gives her insight into how businesses run.

Her background in the medical field taught her the value of deep research and constant questioning.

These factors combine to create a depth of knowledge and expertise that are unrivaled in the insurance industry.

It’s not uncommon to find her on the phone educating a carrier on their offerings and exclusions, negotiating better terms for her clients, and realigning the carrier’s policies.

Come on by and visit Competitive Edge the next time you’re in beautiful Coronado.
