Jones Announces New Leadership
In a significant development, Jones, an innovative vertical AI platform specializing in insurance verification for the construction and real estate sectors, has announced the appointment of Paul Szemerenyi as its new Chief Executive Officer. This decision follows a strategic transition initiated by co-founder and previous CEO Omri Stern, aimed at positioning the company for accelerated growth amid soaring market demand.
Szemerenyi is not just any executive; he is a seasoned veteran with an impressive track record in leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies. His previous roles include CEO and go-to-market leader at successful firms like Allbound, Bizzabo, and Fuze. In his new role, he is expected to leverage his vast experience to further Jones' mission of transforming insurance risk management in the industries they serve.
Omri Stern will remain closely involved with the company, transitioning to a pivotal role on the Board of Directors, where he will concentrate on long-term strategy and innovation. Reflecting on this leadership change, he stated, “When we founded Jones in 2017, my vision was to create an AI-driven solution that would significantly alter how our industry approaches insurance risk management. Today, that vision is reality, placing us in a category-leading position with over 36,000 projects managed and more than 2.7 billion square feet of real estate covered by our innovative technology.”
Transitioning Leadership to Meet Market Demands
The timing of this leadership change comes as Jones continues to enjoy robust growth and operational strength. With over 231 employees distributed across four global locations, Jones is thriving as it expands its market presence and enhances product offerings. Szemerenyi emphasized the organization's potential for growth by stating, “Jones has built a category-defining AI platform that addresses critical pain points for our industry. The combination of our innovative technology, established market leadership, and the trust of our customers provides an extraordinary foundation for growth. I am privileged to partner with Omri, Michael, and this exceptional team to realize Jones' full potential.”
As part of the transition, a structured approach will be in place until March 31, 2026, ensuring that existing customers and partners continue to receive seamless service. All ongoing initiatives are scheduled to proceed smoothly, including the highly anticipated launch of the Jones AI Support Agent set for the first quarter of 2026.
