Gaspar will lead Corvus’s data infrastructure evolution and innovation. He is charged with scaling Corvus’s core data streams and identifying new sources of information to build upon the company’s core value to brokers, policyholders, and risk capital partners, according to a Corvus statement. Corvus says its appointment of a Chief Data Officer to its executive team comes as the company continues to invest in its market-leading approach to leverage data in underwriting and risk management.
“From its inception, Corvus has used data and technology as a key differentiator in the insurance industry,” comments Gaspar. “I’ve seen data go underutilized—even in the technology industry—and I’m excited to join a team where we can expand the horizons for data sources and continue to innovate to create even greater value for our brokers, policyholders, and risk capital partners.”

He previously served as SVP of Analytics, Insights, and Planning at Wells Fargo where he led the function for the bank’s Consumer and Small Business Banking Operations group.
