Gain Life Names Dave Merrill as Chief Executive Officer

BOSTON--()--Gain Life, a leading provider of insurance claims automation software, today announced that Dave Merrill has been named as Chief Executive Officer.

“Dave’s cost-containment expertise, passion for tech-enabled solutions, and extensive industry relationships make him the perfect fit for Gain Life’s next stage of growth,” said Sean Eldridge, Board Chair and Co-founder of Gain Life.

The Gain Life Board of Directors selected Merrill based on his track record of building one of the largest cost-containment businesses in the commercial insurance industry. Merrill’s penchant for building technology-driven cost-containment solutions in combination with his industry relationships, will be key to Gain Life’s continued success.

“Gain Life’s claims automation platform solves three of the industry’s biggest challenges- alleviation of staffing issues through the automation of administrative and communication tasks, improvement of risk identification through its automated claim monitoring, and reduction of claimant anxiety through an evidence-based application that supports them every step of their claims journey,” said Merrill. “As soon as I saw what Gain Life’s platform could do, and the results it delivers to customers, I knew this was the right opportunity for me. I can’t wait to build on the team’s success, continuing to drive cost savings for customers and a better claims experience for all parties.”

Dave has dedicated his 30-year career to the insurance industry. He comes to Gain Life from CoventBridge, where Dave most recently served as CEO and remains Vice Chair of the Board.
