SAN
DIEGO, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitchell,
an Enlyte company and leading technology and information
provider for the Property & Casualty (P&C)
claims and Collision Repair industries, today
announced that Debbie Day, executive
vice president and general manager of the organization's Auto
Physical Damage (APD) division, has received the Top Tech Executive
of the Year Award. Day was recognized as a technology innovator who
inspires and effects change at the 17th annual Top Tech
Awards presented by Cox Business.
Day joined Mitchell in 2016 with more than 19 years of
experience in technology strategy and operations. At the time, the
company had just surpassed 70 years in business, having
successfully transitioned from the sale of printed parts manuals in
1946 to the creation of advanced software solutions decades later.
Like many organizations, it faced increasing pressure to meet
customer expectations for ongoing innovation and quality. Day's
passion for strategy development, change management and exceptional
service has helped Mitchell achieve its operational and financial
goals as well as align employees with a new organizational vision
focused on four foundational pillars: cloud-based solutions, claims
automation, proper and safe vehicle repairs, and partnering
well.
Under Day's leadership, the APD division has introduced many
technology firsts for the automotive insurance industry, including
the:
- First diagnostic system created specifically for the claims and
collision repair sectors
- First cloud-based estimating system for writing passenger,
commercial and specialty vehicle damage appraisals
- First claims automation solution built on an open platform and
powered by artificial intelligence (AI), cloud technology and
comprehensive data
In addition to her achievements in technology, Day has leveraged
her position to effect change in the workplace and community. She
is an executive sponsor of the Women Empower Network—which provides
enrichment opportunities designed to develop, inspire and grow
female talent at Enlyte—and active supporter of Athena's
leadership, mentoring and advocacy initiatives. As board chair of
the American Heart Association's San
Diego and Southwest
Riverside chapters and board member of Teach for America,
Day has also helped raise funds and awareness to highlight the need
for equality in healthcare and education.
"It is an honor to be recognized as the Top Tech Executive of
the Year," said Day. "San Diego
has quickly become a major technology hub, and I am blessed to be a
part of this community and continue Mitchell's long-standing
tradition of ingenuity and innovation."
Day was among thirteen San Diego
County honorees celebrated at this year's Top Tech Awards.
Winners were nominated by their peers and customers and selected by
an independent judging panel.
