Cover Whale

As the broader P&C insurance sector softens, commercial auto continues to stand out for growth and rate increases. Speaking to The Insurer at the Target Markets Mid-Year Meeting in Dallas, Cover Whale President Kevin Abramson highlighted the sector’s continued strength: "The specialty commercial auto market has logged 13 consecutive years of rate increases, with Cover Whale pushing 13% this year." Cover Whale is continuing to gain market share in this highly competitive market, supported by its use of AI across underwriting and pricing. As one example, the WhaleIQ platform analyzes 10,000 subsegments of the portfolio in real time, surfacing trends in severity and frequency that would previously have taken a team of 20 data scientists to produce on a monthly cycle. As Abramson put it: "We are no longer keying in code. We are steering [AI] agents." Read the full article in The Insurer, here: https://lnkd.in/eXTEB7qE #CoverWhale #CommercialAuto #InsurTech

Is your book of business built for the long-haul? 🍞🚛 There are two "Bs" that can help you ensure that it is: Bread and Beverage. Bread and beverage haulers are the ultimate "sticky" risk. Regardless of what the economy does, people don't stop eating—they just stop dining out and start stocking the pantry. That means the fleets filling grocery shelves aren't just surviving market shifts; they're built for them.

A few things you should know about her: -She calls Charlotte, NC, home and shares life with Davet, an 11-year-old retired service dog she personally trained while supporting service members at a German/American hospital -Outside of work: rock climbing, camping, backpacking, and auto restoration - Bucket list: Kenya -Dream superpower: teleportation — but only if it comes without jet lag We're thrilled to have Sage on the team.
