Meet Brett Little, EVP of Finance & Administration
Little joins The Zebra after nearly four years at AppFolio, a California-based SaaS provider of workflow solutions, where he was part of the team that took the company public in 2015. Little’s tenure saw both a quadrupling of revenue and progress toward realizing operating leverage in the business.
Before AppFolio, Little was instrumental in growing the financial organizations at big-name consumer-facing brands Match.com and Travelocity. In his 10 years at Match.com, Little partnered with the leadership team as the company realized revenue and subscriber expansion and became a globally recognized name in the ever-popular world of online dating.
Prior to his tenure at Match.com, Little built and led a team at Travelocity that contributed to the company’s rapid revenue growth and emergence as a pioneer in the online travel industry.
At The Zebra, Little will focus on connecting all elements of the business to create the best possible product and experience for consumers seeking auto insurance in the modern, connected world.
“I’ve had great opportunities to grow fledgling ideas alongside industry-leading companies, and I’m incredibly excited to do that and more with The Zebra,” Little said. “The Zebra is already revolutionizing the highly regulated and complex auto insurance industry, which is a massive undertaking. I see so many opportunities to continue to tweak the formula and I’m excited to roll up my sleeves.”
