Insurtech Concirrus hires new COO from Marsh

London-based insurtech company Concirrus has appointed Nick Roscoe as its chief operating officer (COO) as it looks to drive change through the adoption of technology in the marine insurance market.

Concirrus was founded in 2012 to leverage technology focussing on the insurance industry, specifically on commercial marine and motor insurance.

Roscoe has spent over a decade as a managing director at insurance broking and risk management firm Marsh. His previous roles included COO of marine and energy and most recently sales leader for UK and global specialities.

Concirrus said it has hired Roscoe to oversee company operations with a focus on ensuring customer success and to develop and strengthen the relationships with its partners.

Roscoe will report to Concirrus CEO Andy Yeoman, who said: “Nick has had an illustrious career in the marine insurance industry and possesses a very deep network in the London and worldwide markets. As we continue our progress in the market it’s fundamental that we have deep domain expertise in our customers’ business. We’re really pleased to be able to have him as part of the team.”

Roscoe commented: “The insurance market is going to change radically and Concirrus is already at the heart of this. We are already delivering real value, and there is huge potential for the future. I’m looking forward to working across the table with old insurance colleagues and new connections alike as they develop their business models to succeed in the digital age.”
