Westhill hires Daniel Loosemore to lead expansion Into Canada
Westhill is building a marketplace for property & casualty restoration and mitigation insurance claims. After making great strides in the US market, Westhill is now expanding their team in pursuit of growth into the Canadian market. The ecosystem that Westhill is building enables insurance companies to successfully alleviate friction in the claims process, by using cutting-edge technology to enhance the claim experience. Creators of the cloud-based platform are pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Loosemore as their President of Canadian Operations.
“Dan brings a wealth of knowledge and market intelligence that is invaluable to us. He has an incredible network and proven ability to solve problems for insurance carriers. He is the perfect candidate to lead Westhill’s growth in Canada and continue building our robust network of carriers and contractors. Our team is delighted to have him join us.” – George Jones, CEO of Westhill.
Loosemore has always been connected to construction and insurance, bringing 20+ years of experience in property restoration. In his last role at Crawford Contractor Connection, Dan was responsible for taking an established managed repair network model in the US and scaling into Canada. During his transition from District Manager to Vice President of National Sales and Operations, Loosemore effectively grew and scaled his team from one (1) employee to fifty-three (53) nationally, to service the customer base in both official languages (English and French). He then took this valuable experience into consulting and has been working with businesses to execute on strategic imperatives like growth, margin efficiencies, performance management and brand experience.
In addition to his achievements in the managed repair space, Loosemore exited Woodhouse Contracting, and stayed on throughout the earn-out to help the business continue to scale, rebrand and become one of the largest contractor brands in the country. Dan is a proven strategist who leads with passion in all his endeavors. Often touted as a leader who is highly inclusive and collaborative, his professionalism and values align well with the core values of Westhill.
“Westhill brings a progressive technology approach to a market which has historically been well behind the customer needs and consumer expectations. I’m excited to infuse the Canadian market with collaboration and transparency that no one else can offer in the insurance market today.” – Dan.
Westhill has been recognized in the US as an industry thought leader in Insurtech. Building upon the local successes in 2019, Westhill is now focused on embedding local talent and regional expertise in Canada to better serve their partners.
