ACORD Solutions Group, a provider of advanced digital solutions for the global insurance industry, has appointed Dave Matcham as its Global Ambassador for Digital Markets.
Recently retired from his long-standing position as CEO of the International Underwriting Association (IUA), Matcham has been a supporter of standards-based digital transformation within both the ACORD community and the broader insurance sector.
“Dave Matcham is an enormously well-respected leader, whose contributions to the industry as head of the IUA are recognised worldwide,” said Chris Newman, CEO of ACORD Solutions Group.
“We welcome the opportunity to partner with Dave in spreading awareness of the critical role that digital data exchange will play in our industry’s future, as well as the groundbreaking digital capabilities that ACORD Solutions Group have already put in place for clients in markets around the world.”
ACORD Solutions Group has introduced regional data exchange hubs across key established and developing re/insurance markets worldwide, including London, North America, Bermuda, Dubai, Spain, Italy, and the Nordics, with a Singapore launch planned in the near future.
Powered by ADEPT (ACORD Data Exchange Platform & Translator), these hubs facilitate seamless connectivity among brokers, insurers, and reinsurers—bridging differences in geography, data formats, and levels of digital maturity.
Matcham added: “I have always strongly supported the work that ACORD has done in bringing the industry together to set global digital standards for insurance.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to now work with the ACORD Solutions Group, helping businesses worldwide to leverage the benefits of those standards. I am excited to help accelerate interconnectivity across markets, creating a true global insurance ecosystem.”
