About Nigel Shepherd
A globally recognized insurance technology and claims operations executive, with more than twenty years of experience applying software-enabled solutions to complex insurance environments. I have held senior leadership roles at major organizations, including CCO at Kingstone Insurance, Head of National Casualty Claims at PURE Group of Insurance Companies, EVP and CCO at K2 Insurance Services, and Global Head of Claims at both Aspen Specialty and the Alea Insurance Group. In addition, I currently serve in advisory and consulting roles with insurtech and industry-focused firms such as Optimalex, Lanzko Claims Consulting, and Suite 200 solutions, where I work on claims predictive analytics, digital transformation, and operational optimization.
