London-based marine and automotive insurtech firm, Concirrus, has established a new advisory panel comprised of global insurance and technology market experts with decades of industry experience.
Over the last 24 months, Concirrus has expanded its client base of respected market leaders with the likes of Hiscox, Marsh, Willis Re, and a number of P&I clubs.
In 2020, the insurtech reinforced its position in the market with the additions of Beazley, AEGIS London, Markel, and Arch Insurance to its client base.
Now, the firm has announced its new expert advisory panel, which includes Paul Jardine, ex-COO of Catlin; David Croom-Johnson, MD of AEGIS London; Jonathan Ibbott, ex-COO of AXA XL’s Specialty unit; Jeremy Roche, ex-CEO of FinancialForce; Martin Henley, ex-CIO at AXA and XL Catlin; and Professor Andy Pardoe, a global expert in AI and machine learning.
Commenting on his addition to the advisory panel, Jardine said: “I’ve been really impressed with the Concirrus offering and the strength of its management team and I strongly believe that there are enormous opportunities for the business to reshape the insurance industry.
“The panel is much more than a network – it’s about providing Concirrus with extensive experience and knowledge in a collaborative and supportive environment, away from the day-to-day travails of a growing tech company.”
Concirrus’ CEO, Andrew Yeoman, commented: “As insurance companies and the market begins to digitise, we are looking to play a key supporting role. This advisory panel allows us to bring together a unique set of skills and knowledge to help speed this transformation and guide our company.”
Henley added: “I am a great believer that how the insurance industry manages to utilise today’s technology to understand data will change the industry forever. Concirrus is at the heart of this change and I am excited and proud to be involved in this panel, which has the opportunity to drive data innovation.
“The majority of insurers are struggling with the problem of how best to harness the vast amount of data that is now available. Concirrus has the means and talent to help solve this challenge for the industry, and this will change the face of underwriting.”
