At Aurenity, we believe in the transformative potential of combining industry experience with advanced technology, and no one embodies this more than our Executive Vice President, Janet Beaver. Recently featured on The Insurance Chatter, Janet shared insights from her extensive career and her role in advancing Aurenity’s mission to reshape the insurance industry through tech-enabled underwriting and a culture of inclusivity and leadership.
Janet’s path into the insurance world began unexpectedly, a story many in the industry can relate to. Initially set on a career in foreign service, Janet entered insurance when government budget cuts redirected her plans. From there, her journey spanned key markets, from New York to Los Angeles, and eventually London, all while establishing herself as a leading expert in the E&S (Excess and Surplus) market. Each step provided Janet with insights that would later guide her in building successful teams and approaches in the evolving insurance landscape.
Janet’s current role at Aurenity aligns with her career-long dedication to meaningful innovation. Aurenity, as a tech-driven MGA, is committed to preserving insurance fundamentals while introducing technology that enhances every part of the underwriting process. In her conversation on The Insurance Chatter, Janet highlighted how Aurenity is building a technology-first approach to empower underwriters. With tools like origami-based systems and advanced data analytics, Aurenity aims to streamline underwriting, making it both faster and more precise, and allowing experts to focus on high-value decisions.
“Technology should enable expertise, not replace it,” Janet remarked, emphasizing Aurenity’s commitment to “expertise-led and tech-enabled” approaches. This allows underwriters to focus on risk, accuracy, and building trusted relationships rather than repetitive tasks.
Throughout her career, Janet has championed a leadership style that values collaboration and development. She discussed on The Insurance Chatter the challenges of working in a traditionally male-dominated industry and her goal of fostering a more inclusive work environment. Janet’s approach is simple but impactful: prioritize talent, cultivate supportive teams, and drive for excellence while maintaining integrity. Aurenity’s core values align closely with Janet’s commitment to building a team that supports diversity while focusing on expertise and innovation.
One of Aurenity’s primary goals is to leverage data for better risk assessment and long-term profitability. Janet elaborated on how the team is collecting valuable data across underwriting decisions, creating a foundation that will enhance incremental improvements in loss ratios and risk management over time. By integrating data and technology into the underwriting process, Aurenity isn’t just responding to industry trends but is setting a new standard for sustainable, profitable growth in E&S insurance.
As Janet shared with The Insurance Chatter, “Profitability should be the main goal, and technology is here to support it, not drive it alone.” This outlook is critical as Aurenity builds for a future where technology supports experienced professionals, creating solutions tailored to the complex and ever-evolving needs of clients and partners.
