Founding Story
Jack Green co-founded Progressive Insurance in 1937 alongside Joseph Lewis. Recognizing a massive, highly lucrative gap in the traditional insurance market, the two lawyers intentionally targeted 'non-standard' drivers (people with terrible driving records who other companies refused to insure). By properly pricing the massive risk, they created the foundation for one of America's largest insurers. Jack Green was born in 1910.
