Guy Farley steps down as CTO of ManyPets

Guy Farley, the co-founder and CTO of ManyPets , has announced his decision to step down from his role after 13 years of leading the company alongside Steven Mendel. In a LinkedIn post, Farley described his tenure and highlighted the company’s readiness for its next phase of growth under the leadership of CEO Luisa Barile.

Farley reflected on the achievements of ManyPets, emphasizing its end-to-end, cloud-based pet insurance technology stack. The system is API-centric, serverless, and capable of deploying updates 20-30 times daily into production. The company’s use of AI and machine learning, supported by a robust MLOps environment and data warehousing, has been a key differentiator, enabling rapid iteration and innovation.

“The thing I am most proud of, and will miss the most, is the team. The technology team at ManyPets is extraordinary both in capability and culture, it will go from strength to strength in the incredibly capable hands of Nick S., Sophia Pilkington-Miksa, David Cochrane, Russell Rhodes and Pierre du Toit.”

Farley will remain connected to ManyPets as a member of the UK Board and an advisor to the engineering and product teams.

Farley’s departure coincides with ManyPets’ decision to exit the US market and refocus its efforts on the UK.
