Veruna announced Jennifer Carroll as the company's new CEO, replacing Bob Scullin, who is moving into an expanded and ongoing role at Keystone Insurance Group, an investor in Veruna.
Carroll has extensive experience advising technology startups through all life phases, from formation to venture financing to exits, including mergers and acquisitions. She formerly served as general counsel and a fractional C-suite executive for startups such as Drillinginfo (now Enverus) and Revionics, as well as running a law firm focused exclusively on high-growth potential companies.
Carroll says her background in technology startups, particularly business-to-business Software-as-a-Service startups, can help Veruna to be "even more successful in delivering best-in-class software in a sustainable model that will match, then outpace, our competition when it comes to innovation and opportunity."
Prior to being named CEO, she helped Veruna raise more than $5 million in seed and series A funding. As CEO, she is focused on optimizing operations for efficiency and scaling the company. Carroll says some examples of changes at Veruna include refocusing its product roadmap, implementing a partner program in the next two quarters for even more customer support and going out to the venture community for the next financing round.
"Technology designed specifically for insurance agencies has been at a development standstill for decades. Veruna took a clean slate look at the way agencies need to do business today and tomorrow in order to be competitive," Carroll said in a statement. "We've minimized implementation issues with cloud deployment and change management by building on the Salesforce platform. I'm looking forward to taking the company to new heights as CEO."
