QBE Ventures CEO James Orchard and Hollard IT Business Engagement head Vanessa Dobson are joining the board of Insurtech Australia (IA) as director Andy Jamieson steps down.

Also on the board are remaining directors Honey Insurance VP Partnerships Eoghan Trehy, ClaimSpace CEO Aurora Voss and Evari CEO Daniel Fogarty. A vote is still to be held on who takes the role of Chair.

Ms Dobson, who also holds the role of Company Secretary, says IA is “a fun, collegiate, generous community to be a part of”.

“I look forward to serving in a new capacity,” she said.

In October, Simone Dossetor, formerly COO at Munich Re in Australia, took over as CEO at Insurtech Australia as Rita Yates departed the role to pursue new challenges.

IA thanked Mr Jamieson, who founded website Advisr.

“Thanks Andy for all your work on the board. [We] look forward to your continued support in other ways as we grow this community,” Mr Fogarty said.
