Cover Genius has surpassed 25 million policies sold, safeguarding more than 14 million customers worldwide, new data shows
Cover Genius has reached its milestone of selling over 25 million policies, ensuring the safety of more than 14 million customers.
As major digital corporations increasingly favor embedded solutions over traditional insurers, Cover Genius has emerged as the world’s largest provider of digital protection. To accommodate its continued growth, the insurtech has expanded its executive team, appointing former Google executive Kyle Keogh as the Chief Business Officer for the Americas.
In his new role, Kyle Keogh will oversee profit and loss management, business operations, and strategic planning for the North American and Latin American regions. Keogh brings a wealth of experience, having held various leadership positions at Google for over a decade.
During his tenure, he collaborated closely with clients to enhance sales performance, strengthen brand reputation, and optimise product launches. Prior to his time at Google, Keogh served as a Director of Business Transformation at IBM.
Keogh commenced his career working with technology and telecom clients at McKinsey & Co. and JP Morgan. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamilton College, studied at the London School of Economics, earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, and obtained an MBA from Dartmouth College and remains actively involved in educating and mentoring MBA students as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business and serves on the Board of Chautauqua Institution.

Angus McDonald, CEO and Co-founder of Cover Genius, said the growing preference of digital companies for insurtechs in safeguarding their customers through customised embedded solutions. “Cover Genius is at the forefront of this shift, being the only embedded insurtech with comprehensive global capabilities that can bring any solution to market for our partners, regardless of location, language, or currency.”
