AkinovA, an electronic marketplace for the transfer and trading of insurance risk, has announced the addition of Takeshi Doi to its Advisory Board.
Doi is currently Chief of Cyber Risk Section at MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting as well as Deputy General Manager of the Group’s Innovation Section.
His focus will be to assist AkinovA in establishing its position as the leading platform to transfer and trade insurance-related cyber risks.
Commenting on his appointment, Doi said, “MS&AD demonstrates its continued commitment to promote sustainable industry growth through innovative partnerships.”
“We see the development of independent marketplaces across industries as strong growth catalysts. That is why we are pleased to assist AkinovA on its journey to provide more opportunities for clients to innovate across the (re)insurance industry.”
“More specifically, we think that their ultimate goal of dynamically matching risk with the right capital is much needed to unlock meaningful capacity to underwrite cyber risks at scale globally: cyber risks are dynamic by their very nature, it’s natural to transfer those risks through a digitally native platform.”
Doi joins the Advisory Board alongside re/insurance and capital market industry stalwarts Paul Jardine, formerly XL Catlin’s Chief Experience Officer; Daljitt Barn, Global Head of Cyber Risk at Tokio Marine Group; Jonny Creagh-Coen, Fidelis’ head of strategic relations; Thomas C Heise, Co-founder of the Bermuda Commodities Exchange and Clearing House.
Also joining the Board are Charles N. Bralver, Co-founder of Oliver Wyman; Pierre Francotte, former CEO of securities clearing house Euroclear; Susan Estes, founder, President & CEO of OpenDoor Trading; and Erik Jansen, Co-founder of Pequot Ventures.
