Insurtech SecondSight Puts Together Exec Leadership With 6 Hires

Insurtech SecondSight announced six executive appointments to lead the company’s expansion into additional lines of business.

Derek Foreman joins as chief operating officer, Dan Shoten as chief customer officer, James Tullett and David Anderson as co-heads of client engagement, Kenneth Ross as head of channel strategy and Doug Schulkin as head of revenue operations.

Earlier this month, Bloomington, Indiana-based SecondSight announced Series A funding. At the time, Jamie Bouloux was appointed president. Bouloux is former CEO of Ryan Financial Lines and EmergIn Risk.

SecondSight says it is the first AI-driven platform that brings telematics to digital risk. Its operating system, SHAPE, learns from customers’ data and external signals to reveal how risks connect and evolve in order to help brokers, underwriters and executives anticipate exposures and act on growth opportunities.

Derek Foreman joins SecondSight from Bloom Insurance, where he spent 17 years as COO and later CTO. As CTO, Foreman raised the capital to launch Ascend, a SaaS quoting and enrollment platform.

Dan Shoten most recently served as managing partner at Zag Capital, a single-family office with investments in startups, venture capital, real estate and services businesses. Previously, Shoten spent a decade as an early operator at several high-growth startups including AppNexus (Acquired), OrderGroove and Rockerbox (Acquired).

David Anderson previously served as vice president of cyber at Woodruff Sawyer, U.S. head of cyber at McGill and Partners, and head of major accounts at Lockton. H

James Tullett began his career at JLT in London, placing complex cyber risks in the Lloyd’s market before moving to the U.S. to develop JLT’s cyber offering. Following JLT’s acquisition by Marsh, he became one of the firm’s Northeast cyber leaders.

Kenneth Ross was most recently COO of the private equity practice at CAC Specialty. He previously served in senior roles in WTW’s M&A and transactional risk practices and Lockton’s financial institutions group.

Doug Schulkin has nearly 20 years of insurance experience, including roles at AIG, The Hartford, Travelers and Chubb. Most recently, he built a $3 million book of business from scratch in 18 months as a broker at Anzen.
