Live flood forecasting Insurtech Previsico has hired Tractable AI’s Aleksander Surowiak as Head of Sales to bolster Previsico’s growth and nurture pivotal partnerships across the insurance industry.
Surowiak brings a vast degree of startup scaling experience towards the role, having previously spearheaded sales in Northern and Central Europe at Tractable AI.
Previously, he served as Business Development Director at Tractable AI. Before that, he worked for Strategy& (Part of PWC) in its strategy consulting practice.
In his new role, Surowiak is expected to execute an updated sales strategy, implementing structures, systems, and processes, which will be used to help Previsico to achieve its growth plans.
Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Previsico, commented on the appointment: “Previsico is already delivering the world’s leading real-time surface water flood forecast technology to help mitigate the impact of floods in the UK, US, and beyond. As we continue to expand, Aleks’ experience and expertise in working with major clients and stakeholders will be hugely beneficial to us. We are delighted to welcome him to our winning team.”
Surowiak said: “I chose to join Previsico because after engaging with the team, I became convinced that they are a hidden gem poised for remarkable success, much like Tractable was. At its essence, Previsico offers unparalleled solutions that hold immense value, especially in today’s world where the impact of climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events, such as flooding.
“With its exceptionally talented team working as one, the trajectory for Previsico is undoubtedly upwards and onwards, and I cannot wait to be a part of that journey. Moreover, being able to help people avoid something as traumatic as a flood is a huge motivator to wake up each morning and get to work.”
He concluded: “As a business, Previsico has evolved rapidly, which is a testament to the capabilities of its senior management team. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to the mix, helping Previsico to support its growing customer base with ever more sophisticated, accurate, timely, and reliable tools for flood prediction and risk management.”
In late 2023, Previsico went live in New York with its flood forecasting technology.
