Associate Product Manager

Events in recent years have made us all too familiar with the havoc that natural disasters can wreak, and the increasing frequency and intensity with which they are occurring. Despite record levels of losses, conventional methods of catastrophe risk modeling continue to paint at best, an incomplete picture of these threats.

ZestyAI uses novel data gathering and machine learning approaches to produce higher quality information about the risks to property, from catastrophes like floods and wildfires.
