“I am joining CLARA because it’s a great company with a bright future,” said Warden. “Built from our exclusive contributory datasets of claims, medical providers, and attorneys, our tools help clients improve claims outcomes and assure that injured workers receive the most effective care possible.

Our models enable claims adjusters to handle complex claims more effectively. CLARA is an insurtech company that is delivering realized value to its customers every day, and I am thrilled to now be part of a team that will take the company and its customers to new levels of success.”
Warden earned an MBA from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio State University, where he majored in accounting.
