Featured Speaker

Jason McKinley, SancifAI Insure

​

Jason McKinley is a former independent insurance agency owner with 20 years of hands-on experience serving commercial and personal lines clients, as well as employee benefits. He sold his agency to NFP and later co-founded an MGA and captive insurance company in 2019, domiciled in Montana and currently operating across six states. He is also the Co-Founder and CEO of SanctifAI Insure, where he focuses on helping the insurance industry address the real-world implications of artificial intelligence.


Today, Jason works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, agency operations, and professional liability risk, helping independent agents understand how AI is influencing underwriting, claims, contracts, and insured decision-making — and where E&O, GL, and cyber coverage assumptions can quietly break down.


Before his insurance career, Jason was a four-year starting quarterback at the University of Houston, where he still holds multiple records, and later had a brief stint in the NFL.
