Supercede has quickly established itself as the reinsurance platform of choice for cedents, brokers, and reinsurers keen to move away from a reinsurance industry built on expensive, one-off IT projects. Aydin’s appointment will build on the strength of Supercede’s platform for ‘reinsurance that connects’, which brings together data, deals, and people across Supercede’s three interoperable solutions: Analytics, Placements, and Network.
Jerad Leigh, Co-founder and CEO of Supercede, said: “As a highly respected figure in the global reinsurance sector, Aydin’s appointment represents a momentous milestone in Supercede’s rapid growth and success. He brings an unparalleled wealth of experience and a unique understanding of developing global reinsurance broker systems, including how these interact with cedents’ and reinsurers’ technologies.”

“Aydin’s appointment is a further demonstration of our commitment to serving the needs of cedents, brokers, and reinsurers across the global industry,” said Ben Rose, Co-founder and President of Supercede. “As CPO, he will support our customers in capturing the full value of our platform and products, and help them to develop future-proof technology strategies in the process. We are delighted to welcome him onboard.”
“I am hugely excited to be part of what, I believe, represents the future of reinsurance,” said Aydin.
“Supercede has already proved itself as the most intuitive all-in-one placement platform on the market, and this is just the beginning. These are transformational times for our industry and now, alongside this immensely talented team, I look forward to helping to drive this change.”
Aydin has a long and successful track record of building globally-distributed, agile product functions to develop business-critical solutions and cloud-based digital ecosystems for financial services organisations. This experience will be invaluable as Supercede scales up to the next stage of its development, worldwide.
As the former CTO of Willis Re, he was responsible for leading the firm’s global technology, engineering, dev-ops, delivery, and data strategy. Aydin pioneered the new digital ecosystem for Willis Re’s employees and clients and worked closely with the firm’s partners across the reinsurance market to co-develop platform strategies and initiatives.
Before this, Aydin worked at Capco as a digital executive advisor, supporting large financial institutions to integrate with FinTech partners. He was also an award-winning leader at TD Bank and has broad experience working in numerous senior technology and transformation roles across the financial services sector over the last two decades.
