Jeff has over 30 years of experience working in the insurance and reinsurance spaces and has held various C-suite positions across five international markets. Before co-founding Accelerant, he worked with Argo Group International Holdings for over ten years, holding the position of Group Head of Strategic Initiatives for the last two.

He shares what he learned as an intern at Guy Carpenter and how those lessons and experiences led him to where he is today. He explains Accelerant’s focus market and why they specifically cater to niche needs. Jeff also discusses his thoughts on data, the future of insurtech, and why their ideal member is a man named Stan.
