Sproutr, an insurance programme design and product development firm, has announced the promotion of Jeff Breault to Head of Insurance.
Breault leads the teams responsible for programme management, actuarial work, product development, compliance and filing across all Sproutr engagements.
In the role, he directs the professional services Sproutr provides to its clients. He sets the standards, priorities and growth initiatives that determine the breadth of services the firm offers, and is accountable for ensuring every insurance programme and internal process meets Sproutr’s standards.
Breault joined Sproutr in November 2023 and most recently served as the firm’s Professional Services Practice Leader.
He brings nearly two decades of commercial lines experience at large carriers and early-stage insurtech companies.
Prior to joining Sproutr, Breault was a Director of Commercial Lines at Nationwide, where he led data analytics and pricing functions.
Before that, he served as Head of Insurance Product at a commercial auto insurtech, where he brought a first-of-its-kind utilisation-based insurance product to market. He also served as an AVP of Underwriting at a commercial auto and specialty transportation insurer.
JoAnne Artesani, Founder & CEO of Sproutr, commented, “Jeff has been a trusted thought partner to me and to Sproutr. He brings expert judgment to complex problems and handles them with diplomacy and composure. When the path ahead is ambiguous, he is the person you want at the table. Those who have worked with Jeff already know this, and those who haven’t yet have a lot to look forward to.”
Breault said, “Founders come to us with a strong idea and often no experience taking a program from concept to first bound policy. We design it the right way the first time, so they can focus on the rest of the business knowing the program underneath it is built to last. Sproutr exists to be the only call a founder needs to make, and I’m here to make sure every client finds that’s true.”
