Can you tell us a little about your background before starting your company?
I am first generation – born and raised in a small town in North Carolina. When I’m with my people back home – the ‘southern twang’ does show up! I did my undergraduate at Appalachian State University and started my corporate journey at Aon and then went to Pepsi. At Pepsi – I developed my love of operations as my first role was to help optimize processes across Accounts Receivables.
While at Pepsi, I got my master’s in project management from Western Carolina and my MBA from Wake Forest University. At Pepsi – I grew from being an individual contributor to a people leader where my responsibilities spanned managing enterprise wide solutions including workflow and financial solutions. From there I went to a division of AIG – United Guaranty and then to Center for Creative Leadership to help take the paper classroom experience into digital. CCL taught me the importance of being a leader and amazing frameworks like DAC – Direction Alignment Commitment – which guides how I run my startups and my decisions.
I got the startup bug in 2015 when I became a new mom. When your maternity benefits are tied to a disability product and your only digital option is a fax machine – as a technologist – you start to ask lots of questions. It was a catalyst for building my first company Docsmore with my Co-Founder and my husband. We were on a mission to get more out of documents. Docsmore paved the path to create innovation opportunities which got me into insurance with my last company and I’m here now – with Solvrays!
How did you start your company? What were the first steps you took to get it off the ground and how did you identify the need for your product/service in the market?
Last year, when my co-founder and I made the decision to step away from our previous company, we knew one thing for sure: we wanted to solve real problems—and we knew we wanted to stay in insurance. Over the past 10 years, our journey in this industry has given us a front-row seat to the same recurring pain points across the insurance value chain.
We kept seeing a pattern: most insurtechs were solving narrow use cases, creating more fragmentation—not less. That was the last thing we wanted to contribute to. So we asked ourselves: What would it take to solve enterprise-wide workflow and back-office inefficiencies at scale?
That led to the foundation of Solvrays. From day one, we knew our platform had to include critical capabilities like intelligent document extraction, knowledge graphs, workflow acceleration, seamless integration between fragmented systems, and dynamic document generation. We didn’t want to build just another point solution—we wanted to reimagine how operations could work end-to-end, with AI and automation as native capabilities, not afterthoughts.
What innovations or unique features set your company apart from others in the industry?
At Solvrays, we’re not building another point solution—we’re building an acceleration engine that ties the insurance back office together such as new business, underwriting, policy servicing processes. What sets us apart is our agentic AI-enabled workflow engine that integrates siloed systems, automates decision-making, and reduces human touchpoints by up to 70%.
We are taking a holistic, modular platform approach with proprietary components we call Genes—like ScribeGene for AI-powered knowledge management, DocuGene for compliant document generation, and DeskGene for vision-based automation in legacy systems with no APIs. These modules work together through PulseGene, our orchestration layer that acts as the brain of the system.
Our architecture is built for interoperability, which means we don’t replace—we enhance. Whether carriers are dealing with outdated systems, PDFs, spreadsheets, or legacy processes, we bring intelligence, speed, and flexibility.
What has been the most effective strategy for scaling your business?
We love building in public and showing our most authentic self as we solve real problems in insurance. We also have amazing partners that host events (I love the T Palmer Agency Founders Dinners) and have strategic partnerships with companies like Inforce and ManageMy to grow and scale. We are better together and I’m a strong believer in partnering with amazing people and companies that truly are passionate about our industry.
Looking ahead, what are your goals for the future of your company?
At Solvrays, we’re building more than just a product—we’re building intelligent operations for insurance. Our near-term goal is to help carriers eliminate 70% of manual back-office work through agentic automation that integrates seamlessly with the insurer’s existing ecosystem.
Longer term, we want to become the default infrastructure for how operational decisions get made in insurance—fast, accurately, and with empathy. We’re designing for scale, but more importantly, we’re designing for impact.
As we grow, we’ll continue to lead with intention. One of my favorite quotes is by Peter Drucker:
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
That’s what we’re doing at Solvrays—creating the future of insurance operations by solving foundational problems with modern, human-centered technology.
