EigenPrism gives users access to datasets from more than 40 partners with capabilities in catastrophe risk modeling, data augmentation, real-time event monitoring and imagery.

“With the frequency and severity of catastrophic events increasing throughout the world, more insurance and risk professionals are relying on our comprehensive platform to address their complex catastrophe risk management needs,” comments Deepak Badoni, President and Co-Founder, EigenRisk.

Badoni says Grimwood-Bird’s experience in insurance and technology-driven solutions will support EigenRisk’s growth in the EMEA region.

Grimwood-Bird joins EigenRisk from Nauto, where he was Head of Insurance. He previously served as CRO, Maptycs, and held sales leadership and management roles at McKenzie Intelligence Services and ICEYE.

He began his career with BGL Group, a U.K.-based insurance intermediary.
