Show Notes

Welcome to episode four of the What’s Your Ethos podcast. In each episode, we focus on topics affecting the life insurance industry, its challenges, and innovations. What’s Your Ethos provides a space to hear from thought leaders in the insurance industry today.

In this episode, host Peter Colis, CEO of Ethos, welcomes Spike Lipkin, CEO and Co-founder of NewFront Insurance. NewFront is transforming the delivery of risk management, employee experience, insurance, and retirement solutions by building a modern insurance platform.

Prior to Newfront, Spike was one of the first employees at Opendoor and an investor at Blackstone, where he served on the startup team that built Invitation Homes into the largest owner of single-family real estate in the United States. At both Opendoor and Blackstone, Spike experienced the pain of buying and managing insurance and was inspired to help build a more modern solution. Spike grew up in Colorado and received degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (BA), Cambridge (MA), and Stanford (MBA).
