Why Black Swan?
Our name is inspired by two powerful ideas:
Nassim Taleb’s Black Swan Theory – A black swan event is an unexpected crisis with far-reaching consequences. While these moments can’t always be predicted, they can be prepared for.
Chris Voss on black Swans in negotiation – In high-stakes negotiations, a black swan is the hidden factor that changes everything. A single insight that can shift the outcome.
The name Black Swan reflects our commitment to guiding Architects and Engineers through an unpredictable world, ensuring they have the protection and insight needed to succeed. It isn’t just about avoiding risks... it’s about understanding them, preparing for them, and turning uncertainty into opportunity.
What clients say about us
We were originally with a larger brokerage for our insurance coverage and became frustrated with mounting unreturned voicemails and emails to them, so we looked elsewhere. Zach and his team are exactly what we wanted - kind, helpful and offering truly personalized attention based on our company's specific needs and industry.

Zach and his team have been great to work with, from the time prior to being their clients and now that we are on board with them. Zach is easy to talk to; he takes the time to listen; and he isn’t about the “Hard Sell” that I’ve gotten from other agents.They take the time to make sure that we are pleased with their services and we are.
