On track to grow by 2,500% this year amid tech industry layoffs
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI—COVU, the only all-in-one AI-enabled digital platform for insurance agencies, is meeting rapid growth demand by adding additional insurance leaders to its already-robust C-suite.
On the heels of welcoming industry icons to the COVU C-Suite in September, Chief Executive Officer Ali Safavi recognized the need to further grow their leadership roster by adding new roles, demonstrating sector-critical nimbleness even as severe layoffs and the threat of recession clouds the tech field. This growth is driven by COVU’s mission — to help independent insurance agents and carriers better manage risk and make smarter insurance decisions through AI-driven policy recommendations, business services and sales support.
“The rapid expansion of COVU has truly been a spectacular journey,” said Safavi. “We continue to attract top-tier industry talent who share our vision of reimagining the insurance industry for the betterment of mankind. While there’s a lot of speculation around the economy heading into 2023, we have no intentions of slowing down. We have extraordinary ambitions to continue growing our team so we can revolutionize how independent insurance agencies think and operate.”
