Canadian digital insurance provider, APOLLO Insurance, has named Mark Fujita as its new VP of Partnerships, signaling a strategic move to enhance its footprint in the emerging embedded insurance sector.
In his role, Fujita will lead the expansion of APOLLO’s fully digital renters insurance programs tailored for multi-family landlords across Canada.
Jeff McCann, the Founder and CEO of APOLLO, expressed enthusiasm about Fujita’s arrival and its timing, coinciding with the company’s acceleration in the partnerships division.
McCann noted that APOLLO has developed a comprehensive insurance compliance tool seamlessly integrated with property management workflows. This integration addresses a significant pain point within one of Canada’s largest economic segments.
Mark Fujita joins APOLLO from his recent position as VP Business Development at Sonnet Insurance, Canada’s pioneer fully digital home and auto insurance company.
At Sonnet, he was instrumental in devising and executing growth strategies aimed at attracting, engaging, and retaining target customers. Fujita’s extensive background includes tenure at esteemed companies such as TD Insurance, Sun Life, Canada Life, and IBM.
Fujita acknowledged APOLLO’s unique position within the Canadian insurance landscape and expressed his excitement to leverage his expertise in embedded insurance within the property management sector.
APOLLO made significant strides in its embedded insurance endeavours last year through a strategic partnership with Yardi Systems, a prominent software solutions provider for the real estate industry.
This collaboration resulted in an insurance interface seamlessly integrated into Yardi’s software, streamlining digital insurance experiences for Canadian tenants and landlords alike.
