About Christopher Kern

I’m a Product Manager focused on building next-generation insurance technology solutions that improve accuracy, speed, and decision-making in Commercial Insurance. I currently support aerial imagery, hazard recognition, self-survey, loss cost and their associated applications, where I drive innovation at the intersection of data, automation, and user-centric design.My recent work includes leading the development of SCOPES Loss Cost v2—a proprietary commercial insurance evaluation schedule that brings precision and transparency to commercial underwriting. I’ve also brought aerial imagery analytics to market, enabling underwriters to assess commercial property risk with greater depth and speed without ever having to step foot on a roof. Most recently, I’ve been working on cutting-edge hazard recognition solutions using generative AI—helping insurers proactively identify and assess risks with minimal human intervention.I began my career at Nationwide Insurance within Property & Casualty and quickly progressed into roles that bridged business analysis, operations, and technology. My journey has included leadership roles in business consulting, healthcare and financial servicing operations, and enterprise document solutions—giving me a unique end-to-end perspective on both the customer and business sides of insurance.Throughout my career, I’ve helped teams navigate change, streamline operations, and launch products that solve complex business problems. I’m passionate about collaborating across disciplines to bring scalable, data-driven solutions to the insurance marketplace.
