Most recently, Ms. Spaulding was the Global Head of Claims for Capgemini’s insurance practice in the financial services division. She holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration with a major in marketing from Drake University.

Mr. Toll is an experienced VP of Sales with a demonstrated history of success in the insurance industry, dramatically growing revenue for his organizations. He joined CLARA after serving as Senior Vice President at Marsh.

Prior to Marsh, Toll held senior leadership positions at Broadspire and York Risk. He also was Vice President of Carrier Relations at CorVel Corporation.

Mr. Toll began his career at Liberty Mutual Insurance as a claims adjuster before becoming a claims manager at United Heartland. He holds a Bachelor of Science in communications from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an MBA in insurance risk management from Concordia University-Wisconsin.

CLARA leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to transform casualty claims processes, empowering insurance carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, and self-insured organizations with claim intelligence.

The company’s mission is to enhance outcomes for carriers, customers and claimants alike as it solves some of the biggest challenges in insurance today and shapes the future of claims.
