Bob Tomer founded BridgeOps Advisory to bring the operational disciplines, analytics and improvement capabilities used in large insurance organizations directly to independent agencies.
With more than 30 years of insurance experience, Bob has led complex service operations, transformed processes, implemented new technology and built data-driven management systems across organizations including Allstate, Liberty Mutual and Sedgwick.
Today, he applies that experience differently—working directly alongside agency owners, leaders and employees to solve practical operational problems and build solutions their teams can own.

BRIDGEOPS ADVISORY | 2025–Present
Founder & Principal Consultant
Bringing enterprise operational excellence, analytics, automation and transformation capabilities directly to independent insurance agencies.
Large organizations often have dedicated teams for operational excellence, analytics, process improvement and transformation.
Independent agencies usually don't.
BridgeOps was created to bring those capabilities to agencies in a practical, flexible way—without the overhead of a large consulting firm or the need to build a permanent internal transformation function.
The approach is intentionally hands-on. Bob works directly with agency leaders and employees to understand the operation, analyze the data, design the solution and help put it into practice.
The objective isn't to create dependence on a consultant. It's to leave the agency operating better than when the engagement started.
