Jon’s depth and range of experience running teams at both major financial institutions and rapidly scaling tech companies make him the ideal candidate to lead Vesttoo’s Marketplace division.”
Ewing, added: “Vesttoo’s unique approach to insurance risk transfer already provides investors with access to diversified, uncorrelated returns without the excessive unpredictability of catastrophic risk strategies.
“Digital marketplaces have immense potential to revolutionize alternative assets such as ILS, bringing them efficiencies and liquidity, and I eagerly anticipate working with my new colleagues at Vesttoo to realize this vision.”
