October 5, 2021

CoreLogic, a global property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider, has appointed Garret Gray, founder and CEO of recently acquired Next Gear Solutions, to lead the company’s combined claims operations. CoreLogic acquired Next Gear Solutions on Sept. 15, 2021. By fusing Next Gear's property restoration workflow platforms with CoreLogic's Claims Connect platforms, property data, analytics and tools, the acquisition aims to enhance the claims experience for contractors, insurance carriers and policyholders.

“CoreLogic is committed to our insurance and restoration customers, continuing to invest heavily to expand our state-of-the-art platforms and digital solutions that will drive better outcomes throughout the property insurance claims process. I look forward to leading this new team as we continue to innovate for restorers, insurance carriers, and property owners, making good on our mission to help millions of people to protect and restore the homes they love,” Gray said. “The combination of an integrated and unified Next Gear and CoreLogic under one roof is step one in the leap forward in claims handling technology that we announced with the acquisition news last month. I couldn’t be more excited about this new role.”

Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic, added, “The entire CoreLogic team is excited to join forces with Garret and the Next Gear team. Under Garret’s leadership, we expect to aggressively expand our claims solutions and tools bringing greater customer focus, innovation and more optionality for all property insurance ecosystem stakeholders. There has never been a greater focus on transforming critical workflows in the insurance ecosystem and CoreLogic is committed to continuing to invest heavily in expanding our state-of-the-art platforms and digital solutions that will drive innovation and make our customers more successful.”

CoreLogic, a provider of property insights and solutions, promotes a healthy housing market and thriving communities. Through its property data solutions, services and technologies, CoreLogic aims to enable real estate professionals, financial institutions, insurance carriers, government agencies and other housing market participants to help millions of people find, buy and protect their homes.
