“I’m excited about working with the Cytora team as they grow globally, accelerate the digitization of risk workflows for re/insurance companies and ultimately enable a step change in client, broker and insurer experience. There is an opportunity ahead to build larger and more impactful risk and insurance industry,” commented Laurent Rousseau, Member of Cytora’s Advisory Board.
