UnderwriteMe, the Insurtech company of Pacific Life Re, has appointed Andrew Doran as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Doran, who has more than 20 years of experience in the insurance and reinsurance industry, joins UnderwriteMe from parent Pacific Life Re, where he was the global Chief Underwriting Officer.

While at Pacific Life Re, Doran reportedly leveraged UnderwriteMe’s technology to develop “market-leading” underwriting and claims solutions for clients.

Doran takes over as CEO of UnderwriteMe from James Tait, who has left the business to pursue new opportunities.

Doran commented on the new role, “I look forward to working with the talented team at UnderwriteMe to continue driving innovation and excellence across our offering for both insurers and independent financial advisers globally, and to further strengthen our position as a leader in underwriting and claims automation and AI solutions.”

Andrew Gill, EVP, global protection Pacific Life Re and chair of UnderwriteMe, said, “We are delighted to welcome Andrew to UnderwriteMe.

“His extensive experience and proven track record in the insurance industry, combined with his deep understanding of our company’s technology and strategic goals, make him the ideal leader to deliver UnderwriteMe’s growth ambitions.”
