Founded in 2015 by Patrick O’Neill, a recognized industry expert with three decades of experience, Redhand was created to help organizations navigate the complexity, fragmentation, and rapid evolution of risk technology with clarity and confidence.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help organizations harness the power of technology to drive better outcomes in risk, claims, and insurance management. As a vendor-agnostic advisor, Redhand provides unbiased, data-driven guidance across the full RiskTech lifecycle—from strategic planning and needs assessment to system selection, implementation oversight, and post-go-live optimization. We exist to ensure that every technology decision is informed, aligned, and future-ready.
Redhand combines the analytical rigor of an industry research firm with the agility of a boutique consultancy. Our clients—ranging from Fortune 1000 corporations to public risk pools, TPAs, and insurance carriers—rely on us for our deep domain expertise, proprietary benchmarking data, and proven methodologies. We are the authors of the annual RMIS Report, the industry’s most respected and comprehensive analysis of RMIS and RiskTech platforms, used by thousands of risk professionals to understand market capabilities, pricing, and trends.
