I'm Lucas Jans, the VP of Product and Founder at Agency Revolution. I've been immersed in the insurance world since I was a kid, thanks to my father Michael Jans, who is a consultant to progressive marketing-focused insurance agencies. My first job was stuffing envelopes for a marketing flyer for Insurance Profit Systems. As a teenager, my dad would pull me out of school and take me to marketing and insurance conferences, which gave me a glimpse of how the industry worked, and how it could get better.

Years later, my father and I started Agency Revolution together. One key insight from working with agencies was that there had to be a way to automate marketing processes to help insurance agents provide great service and keep their clients longer.

I took on the challenge and designed and built the industry's first automated marketing system that leveraged data from Agency Management systems, starting with HawkSoft and later applying the solution with Vertafore's AMS360 (Thanks Sean Hawkins and Doug Mohr for the help!)

In 2014, I decided to move to Vietnam to scale up our development team and focus on building great products. It was a big decision, but it allowed us to tap into a highly talented and motivated workforce, and enabled me to explore new cultures and perspectives. While living in Vietnam I started one of the first craft breweries in the country, and had a blast in the process.

When I'm not working, I'm likely making something. I enjoy fermenting, whether it's beer, fruits, vegetables, or turning wine into vinegar for cooking. (Have you tried fermented jackfruit in a salad?) There's something about the process that fascinates me, connects me to the earth and gives me space from my time in front the screen.

Overall, I'm proud of the work we've done at Agency Revolution, and I'm excited about the possibilities for the future. Agents are far too often left behind and Agency Revolution is here to bring powerful technology and great customer service to solve agents problems. We believe that by supporting and protecting the agency space we can help agents and brokers serve their clients better and build more successful businesses.
