Wesley Pergament is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sola Insurance in Atlanta, Georgia. Before beginning his studies at Georgia Tech, Wesley founded and ran the largest pre-collegiate coding event in the Northeast.

These experiences shaped his interest in data-driven, automated insurance payouts and ultimately led to the founding of Sola.

Sola exists to redefine what affordable and reliable insurance looks like. By harnessing natural disaster and weather data, Sola lowers out of pocket costs and brings financial resilience to tens of millions of households.
