Jeff often quips that, at his core, he’s “just a geeky kid who grew up near Kalamazoo, MI.”

Throughout his career, Jeff has worked at the intersection of technology and business — understanding enough about both worlds to help bring them together.

He’s been blessed with opportunities to serve in leadership and advisory positions with Deloitte, Pacesetter Consulting, and Oliver Wyman.

Jeff began working within P&C insurance in 2005, where he served as:

• Business Relationship Leader, NJM Insurance Group — led IT projects and cross-functional teams across NJM.

• Sr Director, Analyst, Gartner — authored Magic Quadrants for P&C core systems and platforms, and covered tech such as drones, blockchain, and the IoT.

• VP of Marketing, BriteCore — wore multiple hats, including sales, marketing/product marketing, content management, public speaking, and analyst relations.

Insurance core technologies can be weird, wild, and frustrating. Serving as a customer, an analyst, and a vendor has given Jeff a unique and valuable perspective on this space.
