Palomar strengthens leadership team with new CTO hire

US specialty insurer Palomar Holdings has appointed Mark Brose as new chief technology officer (CTO).

Brose takes over the position from Britt Morries, who assumed the role of chief operating officer in September last year.

Brose most recently served as vice president of engineering at Agosto, a cloud services and development company. Previously, he served as chief technology officer at Gravie, a health insurance marketplace.

Mac Armstrong, chairman and chief executive officer of Palomar, said: “As Palomar continues on its growth trajectory, our focus has been on strengthening our leadership team. Mark brings over 25 years of creating and, more importantly, leading high-performing software engineering and technical operation teams. This essential understanding and development of technologies has made Mark the ideal executive for this position, and he will be an invaluable asset to Palomar.

“I would also like to thank Britt for his energies over the last few months, as he continued to serve the Company in the Chief Technology Officer role until his successor was determined.”

Brose commented: “I am looking forward to my time at Palomar and am honored to be joining at such an exciting time for the Company. As the Company undergoes this period of growth and development, I am eager to provide my support and thought leadership, empowering this acceleration of growth for the benefit of all constituents within the Palomar network.”
