About James David Long

James David Long is Chief Technology Officer at Palomar. Location: Greater Richmond Region, United States.

I'm an experienced insurance executive and data scientist with a background in insurance, reinsurance, market risk, and stochastic modeling. I'm the guy who can build a Monte Carlo model, help parallelize the model to run on cloud services and then stand in front of a group of business leaders and put the work in context where everyone understands. My super power is thinking probabilistically, understanding risk, and communicating clearly. I’m a bit of a weird executive in that I’m comfortable with code, mentoring colleagues, building a technical roadmap, and hosting clients for dinner. Having deep experience that ranges from underwriting to corporate risk, and into software development makes me an unusual (re)insurance executive.
