Embroker (San Francisco), a digital platform aimed at simplifying the purchase of business insurance, has announced the appointment of Ben Jennings as Chief Executive Officer, who served as the company’s Chief Revenue Officer during the past four years. Following the departure of Embroker’s founding CEO last year, the company’s board conducted an extensive internal and external search during which it became clear that Jennings was the right fit to lead the business forward, according to a statement of the company. Jennings assumes the CEO position and a seat at the company’s board effective immediately.

With nearly three decades of experience, Jennings brings a deep technology background and expertise for scaling, streamlining and expanding value to customers and other key stakeholders, according to the Embroker statement. Having served in the Office of the CEO throughout the search, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the company’s goals and vision, and a commitment to seeing Embroker succeed holistically, the statement says.

“Over the years, Ben has proven himself a strong and capable leader for Embroker, making the board’s decision to elevate his role to CEO an easy choice,” Mike Vostrizansky, partner,  FTV Capital and Embroker board member. “Ben has a customer-centric mindset and clearly understands how to tailor our coverages to meet unique customer needs and to reduce friction in the process, making Embroker’s offering radically simple, fast, and easy to use. Additionally, his strong leadership capabilities and sharp decisiveness made it clear he is the best candidate to lead Embroker’s continued growth and execute our long-term vision.”

Jennings is focused on further expanding Embroker’s platform and technology, according to the company statement. He will continue overseeing ONE by Embroker, which uses technology and AI to combine industry-specific product suites based on a business’s individual risk profile and coverage needs. Initially launched in January 2023, advancing ONE by Embroker will remain a cornerstone focus for Jennings and the Embroker team.

Transforming Insurance through Tech Innovations

“I am immensely proud to lead the talented Embroker team and to continue transforming the insurance industry through technology innovations,” comments Jennings. “Technology is the catalyst to bring Embroker into the next era of insurance for businesses. That’s why my first priority is further building our platform so we can innovate faster and better, meeting the needs of businesses where they’re going tomorrow—not just where they are today.”
