VOOM Insurance, a specialist in usage-based insurance products for new mobility, has appointed Thomas Coyne as the head of insurance.  

Coyne has been working in the property and casualty insurance sector for more than 30 years. 

Previously, he served in senior roles at several insurance companies including a stint at Mercury Insurance, where he managed a $3.4bn personal lines portfolio as product management head.  

Coyne has expertise in developing and implementing new non-standard auto specialty programmes for MGAs. 

VOOM Insurance CEO Tomer Kashi said: “We are thrilled to welcome Tom to the VOOM team. His extensive experience in transforming insurance operations and delivering profitable growth, combined with his deep understanding of product development and underwriting, makes him the ideal leader to drive VOOM’s insurance operations forward as we continue to revolutionise insurance for the future of mobility.” 

Coyne said: “I am excited to join VOOM Insurance at this pivotal time in the industry. VOOM’s innovative approach to usage-based insurance aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of today’s consumers. I look forward to leveraging my experience to further enhance VOOM’s insurance offerings and contribute to the company’s mission of making insurance more accessible and tailored to actual usage patterns.” 

Earlier this month, VOOM Insurance entered a partnership with MIC Global, an embedded micro-insurance provider, to offer reinsurance solutions for ride-share businesses in the US.
