Insurtech UK, which is the trade association for the insurtech sector, has announced the appointment of Melissa Collett as its first CEO. In May, she stepped down from her role as executive director for professional standards at the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Collett said: “This is a crucial time for the sector. AI and tech innovation is firmly on the government agenda and the UK ecosystem is uniquely placed to transform the way insurance works.

“I have seen the exponential growth of the insurtech sector firsthand and how it can make a real difference to consumers and businesses. The recent report that our partners McKinsey & Co produced around the sector, outlines that growth opportunity. I am very excited about leading an organisation that truly represents the future of insurance.”
