“Insurance technology is at an inflection point,” said Becker. “Carriers and MGAs are moving from experimenting with AI to running it inside daily underwriting and claims work, and the ones doing that well are already seeing it compound. OneShield is at the cutting edge of the industry’s transformation and has the team, the customer base, and the conviction to help them get there, and that’s why I’m here.”

We hired him to raise the bar,” said Tony Villa, CEO of OneShield. “Rick has spent decades on the customer side of our industry, running the exact businesses our software supports. That perspective, combined with his hands-on work with AI, is what we want driving new capability into our customers’ hands.”

The appointment comes during a period of accelerated growth for OneShield across its P&C insurer and MGA base.
