London – June 28, 2018 – Duck Creek Technologies announced today that insurance technology leader Bart Patrick has joined the company as Managing Director for the European market. Based in London, Patrick is responsible for the expansion of Duck Creek’s presence in the EMEA market.
Patrick brings more than 25 years of experience to bear on Duck Creek’s plans in Europe. Specialising in digital insurance innovation, his prior roles include heading up insurance business strategy, technology, services and sales for companies such as TCS, SAP, Pega, and SAS – running P&Ls in excess of £25m and supporting staffing levels of more than 1000. In his most recent role as Director, Insurance EMEA at SAP, Patrick directed Insurance Innovation for the EMEA North region, helping insurers and insurtechs alike get the most from their investments in technology.
“The insurance industry’s appetite for cloud-based, modern core technologies that support flexibility, connectivity, smart operations, and innovation is growing daily,” said Patrick. “Duck Creek has been leading insurers’ digital transformation processes for years. It is extremely exciting to be growing our footprint in Europe, where some of the most creative and ambitious business strategies are being set. Those who know me understand my passion for doing the right thing for the insurance market, and I believe Duck Creek is doing all the right things.”
