Nedra Barr started her insurance career at age 16 in Fort Scott, and this week announces that she is bringing her new business home.
“I started my insurance career in Fort Scott while in high school,” Barr said. “After a great career in the insurance industry, I started developing software that served this market. I’ve designed various software products serving this industry. It’s very exciting to develop the Spyder (her new company) product. It will help producers and home offices modernize, digitize, standardize and simplify their business.”
She is the Cheif Executive Officer of Spyder, Inc., and Sharon Ross, Charlotte, SC, is the Chief Operating Officer, with Bob Peacock, Denver, CO the Chief Technology Officer of the business.
“All three of us are software executives in the insuretech/fintech industry,” Barr said. “I am an award-winning software executive. I have won a Top 50 Tech Visionary award in 2019, a Top 50 Tech Leaders award in 2021, and last week named one of the most impactful women in technology,” she said.
