Amy Danise

Amy Danise is the managing editor for the insurance section at Forbes Advisor, which encompasses auto, home, renters, life, pet, travel, health and small business insurance. She is a highly experienced editor, writer and team leader with an extensive background in the insurance sector. With a career spanning more than three decades, she has focused her work on consumer-oriented publications.

Amy’s goal is to distill complex insurance topics into accessible and actionable information. She works with the insurance editorial team to translate insurance jargon into clear language and help consumers understand how much they should expect to pay for insurance and which companies offer the best products. She develops data-driven methodologies to identify the best insurance companies so that consumers can better navigate the large and complicated landscape of insurance.

Amy leverages her wide range of insurance industry contacts and knowledge of data sources to develop Forbes Advisor’s insurance content. She regularly reviews state regulatory filings made by insurance companies to uncover information that isn’t available elsewhere.

In her previous roles she has managed insurance editorial operations at high-profile personal finance websites and been quoted by major news outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and CNBC.

She’s especially interested in how the insurance industry increasingly uses the personal data of policyholders and applicants in ways that consumers aren’t aware of.
