Grace Okoye
Grace runs the rideshare and fleet desks — the risks most agencies quote wrong or won’t quote at all.
Background.
Grace Okoye came to Lanewise from commercial brokerage, where she placed trucking and last-mile delivery risks that standard markets wouldn’t touch. That background made her the natural owner of our hardest desk: gig-economy drivers, whose personal policies exclude the work and whose platforms’ contingent coverage is thinner than advertised.
She has closed the Period 1 gap for more than three thousand rideshare and delivery drivers, and she maintains the platform-by-platform coverage matrix our advisors quote from. On the fleet side, Grace specializes in consolidating renewals for businesses that grew a vehicle at a time — her record is a nine-carrier, thirteen-renewal-date mess brought under one policy.
She is a licensed P&C producer in 22 states and a certified work-comp advisor besides.
