Vitesse, the financial infrastructure provider connecting the global insurance ecosystem, has appointed Shareen Minor as Chief Revenue Officer for North America, reinforcing its commercial expansion in the U.S. insurance market.
Minor brings more than 20 years of experience across carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and private equity-backed insurtechs. In her new role, she will lead Vitesse’s commercial growth across the United States, reporting to Curt Hess, Executive President for North America.
The appointment comes as Vitesse continues to scale its U.S. presence following a period of sustained investment. In 2024, the company secured $93 million in Series C funding led by KKR, aimed at accelerating deployment of its insurance treasury and payments platform in the U.S. market. Since then, Vitesse has connected nearly 500 insurance network participants, representing a 42% year-over-year increase, while payment volumes have grown 32% over the last financial year.
Minor previously served as Chief Revenue Officer at Ontellus, where she delivered double-digit revenue growth, including a 30% increase in existing client revenue, and played a key role in a successful private equity exit. Earlier in her career, she held senior positions at Charles Taylor Adjusting and Technical Services, Engle Martin and Associates, and NatGen Premier, where she helped scale a new business from zero to $50 million in revenue in 15 months.
“Shareen has spent her career inside the organizations we serve, working with TPA operations, building carrier relationships and navigating the commercial pressures our customers face every day,” said Phillip McGriskin, CEO and co-founder of Vitesse. “That experience is exactly what we need as we build deeper partnerships with the carriers, TPAs and MGAs we are here to serve.”
Curt Hess, Executive President for North America, said: “We have spent the past two years building a U.S. operation that works, with the right product, the right regulatory foundation and the right team. The next step is growth, and Shareen is the right person to lead that. She knows this market from the inside, has the relationships that matter and understands the pressures carriers and TPAs are under. I look forward to what we will build together.”
Vitesse’s 2025 State of Claims Finance report highlights the scale of the opportunity, noting that 74% of U.S. insurers struggle to access readily available claims funds, while only 1% rate collaboration between claims and finance teams as highly effective.
“The U.S. market is ready for a more modern, transparent approach to claims funds management,” said Shareen Minor, Chief Revenue Officer, North America. “Vitesse brings the technology and infrastructure to deliver that. I’m excited to build upon our partnerships with carriers, TPAs and the broader claims ecosystem and help clients take control of their claims funds, strengthen treasury oversight and unlock real operational value.”
The appointment further reinforces Vitesse’s position as a leading financial infrastructure provider for the insurance industry, enabling carriers, TPAs, and MGAs to process claims payments with greater speed, transparency, and control.
