By GlobalDataBarney Pierce, CBO, APAC and EMEA at Cover Genius, noted: “Russell’s expertise in insurance and protection for a changing economy will be crucial in taking Cover Genius forward. Our partnerships with global underwriters and traditional insurers are instrumental to our success, and allows for under-insured groups to access a range of products and services previously unavailable to them.”
When asked why he wanted to join Cover Genius, Corbould-Warren replied: “Cover Genius is at a perfect inflection point as a global insurtech at a time when customers are switching to – and expect more from – digital solutions for their experiences, purchases and investments. This presents a rare opportunity for us to focus our energy on strengthening strategic partnerships for longer term value and leveraging the insurance structures and deep capabilities of our teams. As a global insurtech we have unique capabilities to provide companies, customers and insurance partners with solutions that deliver value from end-to-end, as we aim to serve our next 35 million customers.”
