Kin, the direct-to-consumer digital home and auto insurance and home finance provider, has appointed Brett Tighe, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Okta, to its Board of Directors.
In his role at Okta, Tighe oversees the firm’s financial strategy that guided it from its early stages through IPO and into its current position as a globally recognised, multibillion-dollar public company.
This appointment reflects the insurer’s continued focus on building a resilient, technology-driven company designed for long-term reliability.
Before stepping into his role at Okta in 2022, he held several senior leadership roles at Salesforce, focusing on corporate finance and strategy during a period of massive market expansion.
Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer, Kin, commented, “Brett knows what it takes to build a company that earns trust at scale. He helps take businesses from early traction to durable public companies, and that requires getting both the financial systems and the customer experience right.
“That’s exactly where we’re focused. As we continue to expand our home insurance, auto insurance, and home financing products, Brett’s experience will help us build solutions our customers can confidently rely on for the long term.”
Tighe added, “Trust is earned when customers know they can rely on you to do what you say you will. Kin built a simple, transparent experience for customers, and there’s a real opportunity to keep improving it as the company grows.
“I’ve seen what it takes to build reliable systems and controls that hold up through the transition to the public markets, and I look forward to bringing that perspective to the team.”
