Jay Green will join the insurtech starting November 1 and will lead its worldwide financial planning and analysis as well as investor relations and capital markets.

Jay has demonstrated that he will be a strong financial steward, and I’m confident that he will be a key contributor to our continued growth. We’re thrilled to have him join the team as we continue to transform the industry for the better.”

Green commented: “I’m excited to join Accelerant and bring my experience to bear on behalf of investors and insureds as we improve outcomes in the space by fundamentally reshaping infrastructure available to underwriters. It’s a great opportunity to join a team with an aligned worldview and a big opportunity ahead.”
