Tony Aquila
Tony Aquila is a progressive entrepreneur and CEO with over 20 years experience in revolutionizing the automotive insurance and repairs industries. Tony’s love of cars and his ability to see things differently began at a young age in his uncle’s auto body shop, where he swept floors and strategized ways the auto repairs industry could be streamlined. Fast forward to 2005 when Aquila founded Solera Holdings.
His mission? Overhaul the automotive and property marketplace with a streamlined digital platform for risk and asset management. His first target? The insurance claims industry (he nailed it). As CEO and Chairman, Aquila has led Solera’s global product expansion into more than 75 countries, with 180,000 customers performing over 230 million transactions annually.
Prior to Solera, Tony Aquila founded and led several other disruptive auto industry companies. In 2013 he was awarded the prestigious EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award for shaking up an entire industry. Along the way, Tony has invented and patented several products. A big believer in second chances, Tony created Solera's LIFT program, whose charitable giving has raised over $1 million for worthy causes worldwide. A connoisseur of drinking whiskey, driving fast cars, and hunting, Tony Aquila is much more interesting than your average CEO in a suit.
