Markel Canada partners with Hyperexponential
Markel International announced its partnership with Hyperexponential to modernize rating, underwriting workflows and integration architecture across its Canadian business.
As part of its collaboration with hyperexponential, Markel Canada has launched a purpose-built Environmental rating capability on the hx platform, enabling a more streamlined, digital experience. This investment marks a shift from fragmented, transactional pricing toward a more connected underwriting experience. By bringing data, pricing and context together in a single workflow, Markel Canada is creating an environment where underwriters have what they need at the point of decision.
“Our underwriters need tools that support good judgement, not slow it down. By pulling data directly into the rating workflow, we’re cutting friction from everyday decisions and letting our teams focus on what matters most – building trusted relationships with our broker partners, understanding risk and delivering consistent outcomes for clients.” – Cliff Laidlaw, Senior Vice President, Underwriting at Markel Canada.
“For Markel Canada, this is about more than replacing spreadsheets. It reflects our commitment to investing in a more sophisticated underwriting environment. The hx platform gives our underwriters a better experience today, while laying the groundwork for faster delivery, stronger data capture and future AI-native workflows across the business.” – Maureen Tomlinson, Senior Vice President of Operations at Markel Canada and Head of AI at Markel International.
“Canada is an important market for commercial underwriting, and Markel’s ambition here stands out: they’re not just patching existing systems, they’re building for what comes next. hyperexponential has built the leading AI-native underwriting workbench that keeps pricing, data and decisions in one place, from intake through to quote. We’re proud to support a team moving with this level of pace and intent to deliver the decision infrastructure for the next era of underwriting.” – Richard Gunn, President at hyperexponential.
