We’re excited to welcome three new additions to the Kinetic team! Ronnie O’Dell, Steven Schafer and Gerritt Graham will lead Kinetic Insurance, our new insurance offering in partnership with Nationwide. Kinetic Insurance provides top-of-the-line workers’ compensation coverage to employers in safety-critical industries.
The team has begun at full speed, pioneering a new approach to worker safety and insurance with a proactive policy offering that directly equips policyholders with wearable tech that’s verified to reduce injuries and losses.
Please meet our new leaders, who recently shared their thoughts on how Kinetic is expanding the benefits of wearable safety tech to more employers, to increase industry adoption.
As EVP of Growth Strategy, Gerritt Graham leads go-to-market strategy marketing and distribution. Gerritt is a seasoned growth executive with more than 20 years experience leading sales and marketing organizations across the financial services vertical. Notably, he was the Chief Commercial Officer for Corvus Insurance Holdings, Inc., leading that market to over 100M in premium.
“The innovation happening in the Insurtech space is amazing and is transforming an area of financial services that has been a laggard in tech adoption. Kinetic is bringing to market exactly what every insurance carrier should be, best-in-class policies that deliver risk transfer for the insured alongside technology that mitigates the risk for both parties.”
