From teaming up with now Duck Creek CEO, Michael Jackowski at Accenture, to the various acquisitions the company has made along the way in areas such as data insights, distribution management and producer self-service, reinsurance management, and payments, to the growth of the Duck Creek ecosystem of SIs and Solution Partners, it\u2019s been an entrepreneurial journey with an exciting chapter ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To close out the show, Rob, takes some inspiration from the \u201cHow I Built This\u201d podcast and asks Andy: How much of your success do you think is because of your hard work and your skill, and how much because of luck?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As referenced on the show, IVAN\u2019s podcast episode where Doug Roller shares his perspective on the origin of Duck Creek can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurtechpod.com\/episodes\/the-mighty-duck-creek\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.insurtechpod.com\/episodes\/the-mighty-duck-creek\/.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out all our other episodes, leave us a review and follow Conversations on the Creek on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/podcasts\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">duckcreek.com\/podcasts.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\t<section\n\t\tid=\"block_64bdddba5c71ffdd21256f689bbebc55\"\t\tclass=\"dc-speakers dc-section\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"dc-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__list\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item dc-gradient-border\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-avatar dc-cover-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"95\" height=\"109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Andy_Yohn.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAndy Yohn\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-position\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCo-Founder, VP of Product Strategy, Duck Creek Technologies\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item dc-gradient-border\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-avatar dc-cover-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"95\" height=\"109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/95x109-Rob-Savitsky.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRob Savitsky\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-speakers__item-position\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDirector of Product Marketing, Duck Creek Technologies\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":4291,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"inline_featured_image":false},"resource-type":[33],"class_list":["post-4339","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource-type-podcast"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/4339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resource"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"resource-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duckcreek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource-type?post=4339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
