AI insurtech omni:us seeks to expand in Latin America

Artificial intelligence (AI) powered insurtech start-up omni:us has partnered with Rokk3r, a global technology and consulting company, to enter the Latin American insurance market.

In 2019, Berlin-based omni:us began building a presence in the US and Canada with the appointment of Rupin Mago as VP North America.

The partnership with Miami, Florida-based Rokk3r is designed to enable omni:us to roll out its AI-driven services to insurance companies in Latin America.

“We have been very impressed by Rokk3r’s eco-system, which combines human and machine intelligence systems to enable companies to quickly build size and scale,” said Mago. “We value the agility and entrepreneurial flair of Rokk3r, and we are convinced it will help omni:us to build scale as we enter the Latin American insurance market, as well as accelerating our planned growth in North America.”

Hilario Itriago, managing director of Rokk3r Insurtech, added: “We believe omni:us is on a class of its own with regards to their technology as well as with the space in which their products add value to our industry. Claims is the single biggest savings contributor to an insurance company P&L, so the opportunities are worth pursuing.”
