Mike Gulla

Mike, CEO and Co-Founder, brings 20+ years of experience to his role leading Adaptive, coming full circle to building insurance solutions, currently in the climate resilience space. His background includes integral work at companies such as Hippo Insurance, Allstate, Esurance, Nationwide, and Verisk. As part of his time at Hippo, he spearheaded the first smart home IoT insurance program to help mitigate losses in the home, a product offering now considered table stakes in the home insurance industry. While at Esurance, he led the underwriting development needed for the company’s first direct-to-consumer online bindable home insurance quote, also now an expected user experience.

Mike’s knowledge of startups and creative thinking in a regulated industry like insurance positions Adaptive to exceed its goals. He makes Austin his home (and Adaptive’s HQ), where he enjoys all things Texas with his family.
