Carey Nadeau
Co-CEO at LOOP
Carey Nadeau is an owner and operator of LOOP, a car insurance company. She started a insurance company because after a career of studying cities and building machine learning models, the math could be improved and good, basic car insurance could be more affordable for people who need it.
In her work, Carey advocates and often uses open, public data in order to create more competition, explainability, and accountability. Her work has included: encoding the Living Wage, that provided the data and impetus for employers, including IKEA and NYC’s service-industry to raise wages; the first commercialized geospatial machine learning models to predict car crashes; and her research as an Research Affiliate at MIT and with the Brookings Institution, measuring the unaffordability of public transportation to low-wage jobs.
She was born and raised in the backwoods of Connecticut by a rock drummer and a cash accountant (which explains a lot), and earned a Master’s in City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
