The Top 25 InsurTech Executives of 2020


The Financial Technology Report is pleased to announce The Top 25 InsurTech Executives of 2020. The global insurance technology market is expected to nearly double by 2025. This comes as no surprise given the increased prevalence of digital solutions across the insurance industry. While the highly regulated industry has traditionally been slower to adopt technological innovation, the increasing demand from consumers for convenient web- and mobile-based options has propelled widespread digital transformation. At the forefront are select companies and executives many of whom comprise this year’s awards list.

These companies have experienced substantial growth year after year and have launched successful products, services, and partnerships. For example, Yashish Dahiya has led his company PolicyBazaar to exponential growth while raising over $626 million since inception. As a result, the company is poised to go public next year. Root Insurance, under the guidance of Co-Founder and CTO Dan Manges, has followed a similar trajectory. Last month, the company’s successful IPO brought the company’s valuation to $6.7 billion and was the largest IPO in Ohio history.

These executives have brought their specialized expertise to their companies and continue to build and inspire high performing teams. Through their leadership, these companies are anticipated to maintain their positions as leaders within the competitive insurtech market.
