Kristy Malm Promoted to Chief Operating Officer

We are equally thrilled to announce the promotion of Kristy Malm to Chief Operating Officer (COO). Kristy, who previously served as VP of Operations at Embroker, has been a driving force behind our operational excellence, efficiency, and continuous improvement initiatives.

In her new role as COO, Kristy will focus on overall customer strategy, driving organizational excellence, and leading our customer success organization. Her deep expertise in streamlining operations and commitment to providing exceptional customer experiences will be crucial as we continue to identify and invest in areas where Embroker can provide industry-best customer support.

Embroker is firing on all cylinders right now, and I look forward to taking that momentum forward for our customers, delivering cutting-edge self-service technology solutions, and bespoke premier service.”

Kristy’s promotion recognizes her significant contributions to achieving crucial operational milestones and enhancing our ability to deliver a seamless experience for our customers. Her expanded leadership role will amplify her impact and help us achieve our ultimate goal of bringing magical insurance experiences to businesses.

Continuing Our Momentum

These leadership appointments come on the heels of several significant milestones for Embroker, including two major product announcements and the launch of a new distribution channel for broker partners via our first-ever publicly available API. The addition of Andy Lea and the promotion of Kristy Malm to our executive team further solidify our commitment to innovation and excellence in the insurance industry.

As we continue to grow and evolve, Embroker remains dedicated to our mission of radically simplifying the insurance buying experience for businesses. Our digital-first approach, combined with our intelligent platform that recommends industry-tailored coverage programs, gives our customers something that others simply cannot offer.

We’re excited about the future and the positive impact these leadership changes will have on our ability to serve our customers and partners. As we move forward, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the insurtech space, always with our customers’ needs at the forefront of our innovations.
