Industry News
July 31, 2017

Spex, a mobile property inspection platform for insurance and construction professionals, recently announced that insurance claims industry veteran Jay Contreras joined the company in the role of vice president of sales and business development.

“I’m very pleased to join the Spex team,” said Jay Contreras. “Spex helps leading insurance businesses re-imagine the claims experience. I look forward to being a part of this new era for our industry.”

Jay Contreras is a highly experienced and talented veteran of the insurance and restoration industries. His previous roles have included senior sales positions at Paul Davis Restoration, Contractor Connection and Enservio. Jay will focus on sales and business development at Spex, working with industry businesses to identify partnership opportunities and solutions.

Since announcing its partnership with J.S. Held in May of 2017, Spex is increasingly used for both underwriting and claims-related property inspections. Spex helps ensure quality inspection documentation with universally understood building materials. The SpexReport provides valuable documentation to write better estimates, facilitate losses and collaborate with service providers and policyholders.

“We’re thrilled to have Jay Contreras join our team at Spex,” said Brett Goldberg, CEO of Spex. “Jay is an accomplished executive in the P&C industry and has the experience necessary to make Spex an important solution for businesses we hope to work with in the future.”

Jon Held, CEO of J.S. Held, added, “Jay Contreras will be an important part of the growth of Spex. Jay has the industry knowledge and connections to create an increasingly valuable solution for major insurance carriers. Spex is fortunate to have Jay’s experience and corporate leadership.”
