David Tobias serves as the General Manager of Insurance at Nearmap. Previously, he co-founded Betterview, the leading Property Intelligence Platform for P&C insurers, which was acquired by Nearmap in December 2023.

Research Specialist Incorporated was later acquired by CCG. A veteran of the insurance industry and property inspection business, Tobias is focused on finding actionable, usable solutions to insurance-specific problems.
