Former Marsh/Willis senior leader to help scale AI start-up Eigen

London-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup Eigen Technologies has hired an insurance industry veteran with 25 years of experience in senior leadership roles at Marsh, Willis, AXA and Pro Global Insurance.

Artur Niemczewski (Pictured) will join Eigen's advisory board as its first advisor dedicated to insurance. He will advise Eigen on its insurance market strategy, product development and industry partnerships.

Niemczewski has over 25 years of experience in the sector in all aspects of the insurance value chain. He currently serves on the board of the Chartered Insurance Institute and is an advisor to Anthemis Group (an Eigen investor).

Niemczewski previously served in senior leadership roles at Marsh, Willis, DXC and AXA, as well as being CEO of Pro Global Insurance Solutions.

"I am very excited to have Artur join Eigen's advisory board. He brings a wealth of experience in the insurance sector that will be invaluable to Eigen as we continue to scale," said Lewis Liu, Eigen's founder & CEO.

"Insurance has been our fastest growing sector for the last couple of years. Increasingly it has become aware of the potential for automation to radically transform how it uses data by leveraging AI technology such as ours to improve decision making and improve the bottom line. Artur will help us further develop our dedicated insurance offering, particularly with his experience as one of the early pioneers of digital transformation across the sector."

Niemczewski commented: "I am honoured to join Eigen's advisory board as its first member from the insurance industry. When I first came across Eigen's IDP technology, I was struck by its unique ability to search, interrogate and convert unstructured documents into structured data. I immediately saw endless applicability to insurance – from interpreting and converting London MRC slips, client risk documentation, contracts, wordings, loss runs, through to engineering or loss adjuster reports.

"Technological innovation has always been my passion, and I look forward to helping Eigen further develop its excellent products for the insurance sector, such as Underwriter Assistant. Eigen has the technology, the commercial approach and large-client experience to empower the industry to deliver the automation revolution in data it needs now. Eigen's IDP is a truly powerful tool in the hands of a skilled underwriter or a claims professional."
