OneShield, a leading provider of core systems software and digital solutions for the insurance industry, today announced a strategic evolution of its leadership team to support the company’s next phase of growth and innovation.
Cameron Parker, OneShield’s CEO since 2020, will now serve as Operating Chairman. In this role, he will lead strategic growth initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, to further strengthen OneShield’s market position.
Tony Villa, previously President of the company’s OneShield Enterprise (OSE) business unit, is taking the helm as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Villa first joined OneShield in January 2024. His broader career in P&C technology spans more than 20 years, most recently at Volaris Group and earlier as CEO of Insuresoft for 15+ years.
Liza Petrie, formerly the company’s Chief Product Officer, will fill Villa’s previous role as President of OSE. Will Sullivan, formerly OneShield’s Chief of Staff, was named General Manager of OSE.
Brandon Parker remains OneShield’s Chief Operating Officer, and Rex Blazevich will continue as President of OneShield Market Solutions (OMS).
This evolution marks a pivotal moment in OneShield’s growth trajectory, aligning leadership around its dual-platform strategy, accelerating its AI-driven product roadmap, and deepening its commitment to creating customer advocacy.
“This transition represents the next chapter in OneShield’s journey,” said Cameron Parker, Operating Chairman. “I’m very proud of the OneShield team and what we’ve built together over the last five years. With Tony leading this next phase, and experienced leaders like Liza and Rex driving execution, we’re positioned to scale faster and deliver even greater value to our customers.”

“We are grateful to Cameron for his service as CEO since we first partnered with him and Brandon to acquire OneShield in 2020,” said Kevin Oxendine, Partner at Boston-based Pacific Lake Partners. “Under their leadership, OneShield tripled recurring revenue, and the business is better positioned than ever to continue scaling and meeting ever-expanding customer needs. Tony brings a remarkable track record of driving customer success and innovation, and we are excited to partner with him in this next phase of OneShield’s growth.”
Tony Villa, incoming Chief Executive Officer, added, “I’m incredibly honored and excited to step into the role of CEO at such a pivotal moment for OneShield. Our mission remains unchanged: to create customer advocacy by delivering modern, agile core systems that empower insurers to grow, adapt, and serve their customers better than ever before.
How we bring that mission to life is entering a bold new chapter. With Liza and Will leading OSE, and Rex continuing to scale our OMS business, we’re doubling down on the things that matter most to our clients. Our vision for the future centers on intelligent automation, AI-driven innovation, and self-service enablement, all built on the same principle that’s guided OneShield from the beginning: putting power in the hands of insurers.”
