Philip Gawthorpe Email Address

Key Accounts Manager

ENCOMPASS was founded in 2004 by a small group of experts in intergroup relations, youth development and arts education. Founder Lori Nelson was joined by Juliana Serrano, Ben Wright, Dani Bedau, Peter Howard, Kevin Blake, DeLanna Studi, Jenna Delgado, Steven Jones, Tom Saenz, Angie Weimer, Rodney Lazar, Ellyn McCoy, Al Hassas and Zeke Zeidler. Most of the staff had worked together in youth programs at the National Conference for Community and Justice in Los Angeles for many years before leaving to form ENCOMPASS. Additional consultation and support was provided by Lecia Brooks, Jim Hilvert, Rose Portillo, Jill Aguilar, Sergio Marin, Daniel Loera, Diane Flinn and David Nevell. Seed funding was provided by the Herb Alpert Foundation, Malcolm Atterbury, Jr, and other individual donors.

Philip was born in the UK and has lived in the United States since 1987. He has spent most of that time focused on the global insurance and risk management needs of his clients,large and small. This has allowed him to assimilate an impressive knowledge of insurance products and markets. As industry regulation and compliance tightens around the world, the awareness of doing business in particular US states or foreign countries can make or break an insurance program.
