WHO WE ARE:
Building on its rich heritage, Zinnia is transforming the way life and annuity products are created, sold, and administered – from lead to origination to claims – through Zinnia Open Insurance.

Zinnia Open Insurance is advanced data-driven technology that accelerates innovation, enables unrivaled speed-to-market, deepens relationships with policyholders, and empowers better risk-based outcomes.
Open transforms the end-to-end experience to make everything faster, more transparent, and more collaborative for consumers, carriers, and advisors.
