Embroker, the digital platform making it ‘radically simple’ to get business insurance, has announced the appointment of Ben Jennings as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Jennings has spent the past four years serving as Chief Revenue Officer for Embroker. Following the departure of the founding CEO last year, the firm’s board conducted an extensive internal and external search, during which time it “became clear that Jennings was the right fit to lead the business forward.”
Embroker added, “With nearly three decades of experience, Jennings brings a deep technology background and expertise for scaling, streamlining and expanding value to its customers and other key stakeholders.
“Having served in the Office of the CEO throughout the search, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the company’s goals and vision, and a commitment to seeing Embroker succeed holistically.”
Mike Vostrizansky, partner at FTV Capital and Embroker board member, commented, “Over the years, Ben has proven himself a strong and capable leader for Embroker, making the board’s decision to elevate his role to CEO an easy choice.
“Ben has a customer-centric mindset and clearly understands how to tailor our coverages to meet unique customer needs and to reduce friction in the process, making Embroker’s offering radically simple, fast, and easy to use.”
Vostrizansky continued, “Additionally, his strong leadership capabilities and sharp decisiveness made it clear he is the best candidate to lead Embroker’s continued growth and execute our long-term vision.
“We’re excited to continue to work with Ben as he utilizes our proprietary technology to supply the market with highly sought after, tailored industry-specific insurance coverages.”
As a technology-forward leader, Jennings will be focused on further expanding Embroker’s platform and technology.
He will also continue overseeing ONE by Embroker, a unique single destination that uses technology and AI to combine industry-specific product suites based on a business’s individual risk profile and coverage needs.
Jennings said, “I am immensely proud to lead the talented Embroker team and to continue transforming the insurance industry through technology innovations.
“Technology is the catalyst to bring Embroker into the next era of insurance for businesses. That’s why my first priority is further building our platform so we can innovate faster and better, meeting the needs of businesses where they’re going tomorrow — not just where they are today.”
