Savus Appoints Insurtech Veteran Ethan Jones as EVP of Operations to Scale Underwriting Automation

Savus, Inc., a leading technology company transforming personal & commercial insurance distribution and underwriting automation, today announced the appointment of Ethan Jones as Executive Vice President of Operations. In this role, Jones will lead the strategy, execution, and expansion of the company's operations and will serve as Savus's primary operational point of contact for the partners on its platform.

Jones joins Savus at a pivotal moment for the company, as it expands across both personal and commercial lines and accelerates its growth. He will lead end-to-end operational delivery, from partner onboarding through quoting, binding, and policy issuance, and will expand the operations team responsible for scaling the platform with speed and rigor. A central part of his mandate is to own and refine the standards, playbooks, and repeatable frameworks that shorten onboarding timelines, a capability that directly determines how quickly Savus can expand what its partners can quote and bind.

"Ethan brings exactly the kind of operational discipline we need at this stage," said CEO Andreja Stevanovic. "Our value to partners comes down to the depth and reliability of our platform, and how fast we can grow it."

Beyond operational delivery, Jones will serve as a subject-matter expert in customer-facing settings, partnering closely with Savus's sales and marketing teams to translate platform capabilities into go-to-market messaging and deal support. He will also work alongside the Chief Product Officer and product team, advocating for operational needs in the product roadmap and deepening feedback loops between partners and product to continuously improve the platform's speed, quality, and reliability.

"What drew me to Savus is that operations isn't an afterthought here. It's core to the product," said Jones. "The company's independence and its focus on doing right by its partners is rare, and it's the foundation for building relationships that actually last. I'm looking forward to scaling this the right way across the entire ecosystem."

Jones will define and track the key performance metrics that govern quality, speed-to-live, and uptime across the platform, while ensuring compliance with partner requirements, data-handling standards, and applicable regulatory obligations.

Prior to joining Savus, Jones spent four years as Chief Revenue Officer at Kissterra and held several other senior executive roles across the insurance, agency, marketing, and technology landscape over 20+ years, including more than a decade at Esurance, where he led channel distribution.
