“She has consistently built products that professionals trust to make the highest-stakes decisions in defence, healthcare, and now risk. That is exactly what we do at Kalepa, and we’re thrilled to have her lead our product organisation.”
Howell added, “Kalepa is already trusted by the leading insurers to strengthen underwriting performance and drive profitable growth – and I see a tremendous opportunity to accelerate Kalepa’s penetration across the insurance value chain. I’m excited to partner with Paul, Danny, and the team to build the tools that will define the future of insurance.”
