Margo Giles: From Lemonade Stands to InsurTech CEO

From selling golf balls back to golfers on her lemonade stand to Independent Agency Owner to InsureTech CEO, the great Margeaux Giles is an inspiring serial entrepreneur. You will love every second of her story. 

Margo, as everyone calls her, is the CEO of IRYS InsurTech, an Agency Management System (AMS) platform that was “Built by Agents, for Agents”. She is an experienced industry leader in Insurtech with a proven track record of evaluating, creating, and implementing software for Insurance Agents, Carriers, Wholesalers, and Retail Insurtech vendors. She has over a decade of executive experience in building operations and go-to-market strategy in enterprise settings along with several years on the MGA/Wholesale submission and issuance processes as well as API creation and integrations in the Carrier/Reinsurance space.

In this dynamic discussion, Ariel Rivera and Margo sat down to discuss her story and what inspired her to build the amazing IRYS AMS. She provides an insightful analysis of her experience in developing the AMS, pinpointing the gaps in current technologies that fail to capture crucial relationship data, that are vital for agency owners to scale their businesses and deepen their relationships with their clients. She loves advocating for a more integrated approach to data management, aiming for a broader understanding of clients that can significantly influence business outcomes. Margo’s story will inspire you; her guidance and comprehensive understanding of the insurance industry are remarkable, and you will have lots of FUN listening to her story. 

FUN FACT: Margo loves reading romance novels. She calls it “her escape from reality” because it helps her disconnect and relax.
