He noted that while traditional insurers fail to meet demands for coverage across a wide-range of categories, insurtechs like Cover Genius help bridge that gap with tailored protection offerings, based on real-time data, within their ecosystems.
Angus McDonald, Cover Genius CEO and co-founder, said: “Hiring Dave is a natural next step for our US and regional arm, which has been growing exponentially.
“As founder of the highly regarded Digital Partners unit of Munich Re, which launched dozens of global partnerships in multiple lines of insurance, Dave’s leadership and experience at one of the industry’s most successful corporate venture funds will be an asset in helping Cover Genius reach its mission to protect all the customers of the world’s largest digital companies.”
