Elysian strengthens commercial claims growth with senior hire

May 22, 2026

Elysian, an AI-native commercial claims TPA, has appointed Jerilyn Kelly as head of sales as the company expands its commercial relationships across the insurance claims market.

Kelly joins Elysian with more than 15 years of experience spanning TPA claims management, managed care and claims payments infrastructure, having worked closely with insurers, MGAs, brokers and claims administrators throughout her career.

She most recently served as regional vice president, North America, at Vitesse, where she worked with insurers, MGAs and TPAs on claims payment infrastructure. Before that, Kelly spent more than two years at Gallagher Bassett as vice president, carrier practice sales, leading commercial development efforts with carriers, wholesale brokers and programme administrators evaluating outsourced claims management services.

Earlier in her career, Kelly held senior business development roles at Brown & Brown’s services division and spent more than a decade at CorVel Corporation, building experience across managed care and risk management services for the claims sector.

At Elysian, Kelly will oversee the company’s sales strategy, focusing on pipeline generation and expanding commercial partnerships as the AI-native claims platform continues to scale.

Elysian positions itself as the first AI-native TPA purpose-built for commercial claims, using artificial intelligence to modernise and streamline claims operations for insurers and risk management organisations.

The appointment comes as insurers and claims providers increasingly explore AI-driven platforms designed to improve operational efficiency, accelerate claims handling and modernise legacy workflows across the claims lifecycle.

Elysian founder and CEO Grace Hanson said, “Jerilyn has been in rooms with the people we are trying to reach. She understands how they evaluate claims management, what they need to see before they commit, and what it takes to earn their confidence. That experience translates directly into what we are building.”

Jerilyn Kelly, head of sales at Elysian, said, “I have spent my career alongside the leaders who depend on claims to work at a high level. You develop a clear sense of what actually works and what falls short. Elysian is the first platform I have seen that matches the sophistication of the problem it is solving. That made the decision easy.”
