Duck Creek Technologies, a provider of intelligent solutions for the property and casualty insurance sector, has appointed Hardeep Gulati as its new Chief Executive Officer. Gulati succeeds Mike Jackowski, who will transition to Vice Chair of the Board. Gulati brings nearly three decades of technology leadership, most recently serving as CEO of PowerSchool, where he expanded the company into North America’s largest provider of cloud-based K–12 software.
Gulati said, “Duck Creek already powers many of the world’s leading P&C insurers, and with nearly 1800 teammates focused on our customers, we’re uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of AI insurance innovation. The industry is demanding intelligent, AI-powered, autonomous agentic solutions, and we have the talent, scale, and strategic vision to meet that demand. This is how we help carriers move faster than the market and set a new bar for insurance outcomes.”
In his new role, Gulati will accelerate Duck Creek’s transformation into an AI-first enterprise, embedding intelligence across its products and solutions. The company is developing a next-generation intelligence platform combining agentic AI, generative AI, and machine learning to enhance insurer speed, precision, and insight, set to launch in the coming quarter.
Chad Martin, Operating Managing Director at Vista Equity Partners, remarked, “Hardeep is a veteran technology CEO with deep experience scaling global software businesses and driving AI-powered transformation.” Jackowski added, “This is the right moment for Hardeep to take the reins, and I’m confident he will guide Duck Creek to even greater success.”
