Katie DeGraaf brings her passion for making our roads safer to General Motors in her role leading product and design for General Motors Insurance. In this role, Katie focuses on unlocking the value of the largest connected vehicle fleet worldwide to understand driving risk and build a modern, relevant insurance product that contributes to GM’s vision of 0 crashes. 

Prior to joining GM, she spent nearly 20 years leveraging data, new technology, and customer experiences. Along the way, she has had the opportunity to contribute to bringing to market more than 50 telematics-based solutions — from apps to algos — on five continents across insurance, telecom, and auto manufacturing that have reduced crashes and costs for customers.

Prior to this, Katie studied and taught math. She now resides in sunny Arizona, is a devoted Chicago Cubs fan (“maybe next year”) and enjoys reading, tennis, and hiking in her free time. After Pendomonium, she’s headed to Chicago to run her first marathon!
