Insurtech 50 firm names new chief technology officer

Insurtech 50 firm RightIndem has named Christopher Brown as its new chief technology officer.

RightIndem said it made the appointment as it looked to expand its technological capabilities.

In a post on LinkedIn last week (29 August 2024), Brown shared that he was happy to announce that he was taking up the position.

Brown has been promoted from his role as RightIndem’s technical architect, which he held for nearly 18 months from April 2023.

A spokesperson for RightIndem told Insurance Times: “As chief technology officer, Brown’s role will involve steering our technological vision, ensuring that we remain at the cutting edge of our industry.

”His insights into developing technologies and his foresight in applying them strategically will undoubtedly be invaluable assets to RightIndem. His vision for the future of RightIndem involves not only adopting new technologies, but also transforming our business processes.”

Brown’s appointment follows the insurtech naming a new chief strategy officer in July 2024. 

Technical knowledge

Prior to joining Instanda as technical architect last year, Brown worked as chief technology officer at racing timing solutions firm Atlas Live Tracking for two years.

A spokesperson for RightIndem added: ”Brown embodies the qualities essential for this key leadership role – his meticulous attention to detail, profound technical knowledge and good communication skills make him the ideal choice.

“He has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to grasp complex technical challenges while staying ahead of industry trends. His readiness to innovate and adapt has been instrumental in shaping our strategic technological initiatives.”
