About Monique Nelson, Founder of Distill It Consulting LLC
I believe that true innovation begins with a clear purpose and the courage to challenge the status quo. For over two decades, I’ve worked across a wide spectrum of the insurance industry—helping startups find their footing, guiding scale-ups through periods of rapid growth, and partnering with global reinsurance giants and Fortune 500 companies to drive large-scale transformation. This experience has given me a unique perspective on how technology can reshape industries and unlock new opportunities.
What drives me is the belief that insurance can—and should—be better. It can be more accessible, more transparent, and more customer-centric. I’m passionate about helping Insurtechs push the boundaries of what’s possible, disrupting outdated models and building innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers and businesses alike. Whether leading teams, developing strategies, or collaborating with visionary leaders, I’m dedicated to creating environments where bold ideas can flourish.
I have a deep love for the intricacies of insurance—its rich history, its evolving role in the global economy, and its commitment to building a more resilient world. Lloyd’s of London, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. What Lloyd’s represents—innovation, collaboration, and the ability to insure the uninsurable—resonates deeply with me, as it exemplifies the spirit of resilience and adaptability that I strive for in my own career.
I live in the stunning Mount Washington Valley, just over the border in Maine, where the rugged beauty of the White Mountains reflects my approach to business—resilient, adaptable, and always striving for progress.
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the top brands in the industry, including Swiss Re, CoreLogic, Guidewire, Insurity, Sapiens, IHS Markit, Aon Impact Forecasting, Willis Towers Watson, and Chubb, to name a few. Together, we've challenged the status quo and paved the way for a more innovative and customer-centric future in insurance.
