The Top 25 InsurTech Executives of 2021

The Financial Technology Report is pleased to announce The Top 25 InsurTech Executives of 2021. This year’s executives are at the vanguard of a new era for the rapidly growing InsurTech sector, as the next generation of businesses and consumers seeks the highest-quality insurance services that fit their needs for convenience and affordability. Already well known and staying current with technology trends, the companies represented on this year’s list are poised to ascend as major players across a global market which is projected to reach $11.9 billion by 2027. With these leaders more than capable of adapting their operations as industry trends dictate, the evolution of InsurTech will mean record business for their enterprises.

Emerging technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and blockchain have given new life to day-to-day insurance activities. Loss prediction and prevention, risk monitoring, and claims processing are just a few of the instances where current-day tech stacks and the integration of advanced tools can be leveraged to create an exceptional insurance experience. Art Agrawal’s success was truly born of industry disruption, as he formed Jerry to shake up the century-old car insurance process, launching an AI and ML-based insurance comparison service that now saves more than 1.5 million customers approximately $850 a year. Meanwhile, Peter Colis, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ethos, has driven exponential growth for his company by using deep technology and data science to eliminate the traditional barriers to life insurance.

In selecting this year’s awardees, several hundred nominations were closely evaluated, with special attention paid to each individual’s impact on the insurance industry, amount of businesses or consumers served, and breadth of experience as well as career achievements and influence among peers. Please join us in recognizing the achievements of The Top 25 InsurTech Executives of 2021.
