Speakers

Taylor Rhodes will speak about how Applied is investing in AI, data and connectivity technologies to help you make smarter, more forward-thinking decisions in the Intelligent Insurance Era. Taylor will also announce transformative product updates and brand-new innovations we’re introducing to solve some of your greatest challenges.

Taylor Rhodes is the big boss man at Applied. But don’t let the CEO title scare you. He’s an easy-going, jeans-wearing kind of guy. Taylor has three kids he kind of likes (two in the real world, one living his best college life) and an English Bulldog fur baby he loves. He’s a big-time skier and enjoys spending time in the mountains with his family. He’s always up for a good time with good friends and a good IPA.

Brian Langerman will share how the Applied Client Network is essential for maximizing your Applied technology investment.

Brian Langerman (or BLang as we call him) is the head honcho for our user group. He lives in Chicago but ironically prefers the beach versus the snow. Before Brian landed a career in the insurance and tech industry, he dreamed of becoming a sports agent. Even though that career didn’t pan out, Brian is still a big-time sports guy. He roots for the LA Dodgers and Chicago Bears. He enjoys cooking or attempting to (assuming a crockpot counts). He’s also quite the world traveler, having been to 47 out of 50 states, with Alaska being his next destination.

Anupam Gupta will discuss our latest product innovations and how those solutions create greater connectivity and efficiency across all lines of your business.

Anupam Gupta heads up our Product helm, which makes him the tech wizard if you will. He’s been in the tech industry for nearly 25 years – just don’t ask him to write code. Family is everything to Anupam. He has a wife and two kids who keep him grounded and motivated. He lives in rainy Seattle but ironically has a sunny disposition and is very excited to be a part of Team Applied.

Kara Harris-Crowell will walk through a live demo of all our latest innovations from the perspective of different personas.

Kara Harris-Crowell is the boss lady of the people who teach you how to use your Applied software, so to say she knows our products would be an understatement. She loves music and performs with her band in Nashville, the epicenter of music. 

Trevor Bunker will discuss the Applied customer experience and what it means to your business to ensure you gain the most value from your Applied software during your digital transformation.

Trevor Bunker leads our customer experience organization, so think of him as your spokesperson. Trevor has lived around the globe, but jolly old London was his favorite. He likes fast cars (and freedom) and spending time on his boat in Florida.
