“Developing strategy, creating a culture, and delivering results.“

Kevin Powers is a results-driven Information Technology leader with a powerful track record of building high-performing teams, transforming digital ecosystems, and executing IT strategy at both enterprise and startup levels. With over two decades of progressive experience across insurance, finance, and tech industries, Kevin has continually delivered value by bridging business needs with cutting-edge technology and people-first leadership. He currently serves as Co-Founder and CEO of KASE Insurex Consulting, where he continues to shape the future of InsurTech through innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking leadership.

At the heart of Kevin’s success is his commitment to transformation—both organizational and personal. He’s known for his ability to develop holistic IT strategies that drive measurable ROI, foster team engagement, and sustain scalable growth. At Joshu, a rapidly growing InsurTech startup, Kevin was instrumental in doubling the client base and significantly increasing revenue. As VP of Solution Consulting and Client Success, he played a critical role in defining corporate strategy, recruiting elite talent, and creating trust-based client relationships that translated into long-term partnerships. He led both pre-sale and post-sale initiatives with equal precision—whether navigating vendor negotiations or aligning cross-functional teams for seamless product delivery.

Prior to Joshu, Kevin was a strategic force at Decision Research Corporation, where he led the charge in redefining the Client Services model to support 4x business growth. His efforts helped set a long-term roadmap for Agile transformation, contract optimization, and talent development. He didn’t just reimagine the structure—he executed it, mentoring four newly reassigned managers and rolling out personalized development plans that reduced turnover and boosted team engagement.

Kevin’s leadership legacy is also deeply rooted in his time at Berkley, where he wore multiple hats including AVP of Application Development and CIO for a sister company. There, he built an IT department from the ground up, managing over $10 million in expenses and delivering a 15% average ROI across a 7-year span of initiatives. He was trusted to lead complex, high-impact projects—like launching a scalable e-commerce platform and executing a five-year IT strategy that became the blueprint for the company’s success.

A certified Scrum Master and lifelong learner, Kevin has pursued a wide range of professional training, including ethical hacking, governance, and leadership coaching. His passion for people development shines in his dedication to coaching and mentoring, and in his ability to inspire teams through clarity, accountability, and empathy. He’s as comfortable architecting enterprise-wide systems as he is guiding a junior developer toward their next breakthrough.

From his early days reconciling bank data at IGF Insurance to leading multi-million-dollar technology initiatives at Marsh, Wells Fargo, and Berkley, Kevin has built a career that’s grounded in curiosity, strategic insight, and authentic leadership. Whether he’s building systems or teams, he brings the same ethos: develop the vision, nurture the culture, and deliver results that matter.
