Kristen Nunery began her career at a property management agency, doing rehabs and house flips. She soon realized that hiring subcontractors meant taking on major risk, because there was no easy way to manage certificates of insurance [COIs] that would reveal if subcontractors had the right level of coverage. That’s when Nunery decided to combine her property management and insurance experience to create myCOI, a software that collects and validates COIs and their supporting documents. Nunery is also involved in charitable work for Alzheimer’s research, and is a big supporter of women in the technology world. “Women in technology are few and far between,” she says. “I like to support those women.”
