Acrisure appoints its first innovation chief to leverage its investments in AI

Acrisure, the global insurance broker and fintech financial services provider, has appointed its first chief innovation officer.

Matthew Marolda assumes the new role for Acrisure to focus on business and growth opportunities aligned with its artificial intelligence (AI), data and technology platform. He will also assist Acrisure’s expansion into products and services adjacent to its core insurance brokerage business, such as its asset management division.

Acrisure said Marolda has spent his career using data and analytics to drive strategic, marketing and creative decisions. He was previously chief analytics officer at Legendary Entertainment, and a member of the executive leadership team at Tulco Holdings. He has also served as president of WarnerMedia’s applied analytics division.

Greg Williams, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Acrisure, said the move was designed to make the most of recent investments in its AI platform, to unlock growth, enhance client relationships and drive efficiencies.
“We will benefit from a leader dedicated to connecting innovation, business opportunity and our tech-enabled strategy,” Williams added.

Marolda said the focus of his role will be to “help pursue avenues best primed to leverage our data and AI-driven advancements to accelerate growth.”
