Sales leader assumes expanded role as Duck Creek builds on record bookings, continued innovation, and industry recognition heading into fiscal year 2027
BOSTON, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Duck Creek, the intelligent core of insurance, today announced the appointment of William Magowan as Chief Sales Officer. Magowan, who most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales, will lead Duck Creek’s global sales organization and advance the company’s growth strategy as insurers continue to invest in modern core systems and agentic AI.
The appointment comes as Duck Creek enters fiscal year 2027 with significant momentum. The company closed fiscal year 2026 with one of its largest years of new bookings in company history, reflecting growing demand for its cloud-native core platform, Agentic AI Platform, and expanded underwriting capabilities following the acquisition of Send Underwriting.
“Duck Creek is entering FY27 from a position of strength, with meaningful market momentum, a differentiated platform strategy, and growing demand from insurers that want technology to drive profitable growth,” said Hardeep Gulati, Chief Executive Officer of Duck Creek. “Over the past two years, William has expanded his leadership from North America sales to include EMEA and APAC, helping guide the team to our strong FY26 performance. As Chief Sales Officer, he will lead our global sales organization through its next stage of growth and help us deliver on our FY27 goals.”
Magowan brings more than two decades of experience leading sales organizations in insurance technology. Having been at Duck Creek for more than 13 years, he has helped build a high-performing sales team focused on delivering measurable value for insurers as they modernize core operations, expand into new markets, and apply AI across underwriting, claims, and the broader insurance lifecycle.
“Insurers are looking for partners that can help them move faster, make better decisions, and build a foundation for sustained growth,” said William Magowan, Chief Sales Officer of Duck Creek. “Duck Creek is uniquely positioned to meet those needs with a proven global platform, an expanding portfolio of capabilities, and a clear vision for how AI can create measurable value across the insurance lifecycle. I’m excited to lead our sales organization as we help customers turn modernization into a competitive advantage.”
Duck Creek was recently named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for P&C Core Insurance Platforms, marking the company’s eighth consecutive year as a Leader. Duck Creek was positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision, underscoring its strategy to help insurers pair a proven intelligent core with trusted, insurance-native AI.
