Former AIG chief underwriter joins cyber insurtech to drive next phase of growth

Cyber managing general underwriter  Corvus Insurance, a provider of smart commercial insurance products powered by AI-driven risk data, has appointed its first president from AIG.

Madhu Tadikonda's (pictured) appointment as president is a key step in preparing the company for its next phase of growth.

Tadikonda has over a decade of insurance experience, both with traditional carrier and insurtechs. He began his insurance career at AIG, serving as both chief data scientist in commercial insurance and then global chief underwriting officer. More recently, he co-founded Archipelago Analytics, an innovative data platform that uses AI to digitize risk for large owners of commercial property. He was also a founding executive at insurance exchange bolttech, which has recently achieved the unicorn status with its latest funding round.

In his new role, Tadikonda aims to collaborate with policyholders, brokers and reinsurers to face and mitigate the rapidly evolving threats and cyber risks to the core digital assets and online operations of today’s businesses.

“ Corvus has reached a critical moment in its growth story, and the timing couldn’t be better for me to join such a groundbreaking organization,” said Tadikonda. “Today Corvus has an industry-leading product in Smart Cyber Insurance and continues to collaborate across the industry to develop dynamic and data-driven risk mitigation solutions. I would like to thank the entire Corvus team for welcoming me into the flock and I look forward to helping take this organization and its talented minds to new heights.”

Phil Edmundson, founder and CEO of Corvus Insurance, added: “ Corvus continues to bring in the best and brightest minds in both technology and insurance, and Madhu is no exception. We are excited to welcome Madhu into the Corvus family during this exciting growth period for the organisation as we work together to make this world a safer place.”
