Theodore (Ted) Patestos’ passion is to transform data into action and leverage it for policyholder advocacy. He has contributed to the public adjusting industry by increasing value to consumers and adjusters alike, developing system methodologies, and investing in various software platforms that reduce claim friction. One such technology is Claim Machine, which utilizes weather data to give public adjusters, roofers, restoration companies, and home services businesses leads on impacted properties, increasing their efficiency and sales.
In 2023, Ted brought on fellow insurance claim experts and leaders to create Tiger Adjusters with the goal of developing an effective, affordable franchise that nationally defines the public adjusting industry with innovative excellence. Since its establishment, Tiger Adjusters has recovered millions of dollars in settlements for hundreds of client claims.
