For nearly four years, Drew Hill has worked alongside Vertafore through our partnership with Mutual Capital Analytics (MCA), helping insurance carriers turn complex market and rating data into insights they can use to make better decisions. Now, as Vertafore’s Vice President of Product Management, Drew is bringing that experience even closer to our customers.
Drew leads Vertafore’s PL Rating, Commercial Submissions, and carrier data solutions, with a focus on expanding the data, rating and connectivity capabilities that help carriers compete and grow in a rapidly changing P&C market. At MCA, where Drew most recently served as Chief Analytics Officer, he helped carriers across personal and commercial lines use analytics to better understand product performance, competitiveness, pricing and business results. Since 2022, MCA and Vertafore have worked together to combine Vertafore’s expansive rating data with MCA’s insurance and analytics expertise, helping carriers translate market activity into practical business intelligence.
That work has given Drew a firsthand perspective on both the potential of Vertafore’s data and the challenges carriers face in putting that data to work.
“Technology, data and AI are reshaping the world around us quickly, and meaningful progress will depend on more than new tools alone,” Drew said when announcing his new role. “Winning in the next frontier of our industry will require trusted data, connected context, and deep domain expertise architected in ways that make decisions and workflows materially better.”
From more data to better decisions
That philosophy will help shape Drew’s work at Vertafore. Across our carrier portfolio, the goal is not simply to provide carriers with more information, but to make that information more actionable by helping customers better understand where they are competitive, how markets are changing, and where new opportunities may exist.
This includes continuing to evolve capabilities that can help carriers:
- Understand market and pricing dynamics using insights generated from rating activity and broader industry data.
- Improve product competitiveness by evaluating how pricing and product changes may affect performance in specific markets and risk segments.
- Strengthen distribution strategies with greater visibility into agency activity, market share, and where business is being placed.
- Make it easier for agencies to do business with them through connected quoting and submission workflows in solutions such as PL Rating and Commercial Submissions.
- Turn emerging technologies into practical value by bringing trusted data, insurance context and domain expertise together to support better decisions and more efficient workflows.
Vertafore’s partnership with MCA has already demonstrated what is possible when dedicated industry expertise and broad market data come together. Today, Vertafore’s data and analytics solutions help carriers examine market position, product performance, customer movement, pricing dynamics, and distribution opportunities across personal and commercial lines.
With Drew now helping lead these solutions from within Vertafore, we have an opportunity to build on that foundation and connect data, rating, and workflows even more closely so that carriers can better leverage insights that matter.
