Global insurance broker Acrisure has announced the appointment of Mark Wassersug as Chief Technology Officer and Shawn Pelsinger as Chief Administrative Officer, effective later this month.

Wassersug and Pelsinger will report to Greg Williams, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Acrisure, who commented: “As Acrisure enters its next phase of growth, Mark and Shawn bring extensive experience with scaled financial technology companies.

“Their expertise will be key as we expand our global technology platform and build a differentiated business.”

In his new role, Wassersug will lead Acrisure’s information technology initiatives, leveraging his expertise in financial technology, operations, and M&A to support the company’s growth.

“Acrisure’s rapid transformation from an insurance brokerage platform to a global fintech powerhouse is remarkable. Acrisure’s focus on AI, client-centric approach, and growth potential made this an easy decision. I’m excited to contribute to their continued success, Wassersug commented.

The executive is joining Acrisure following a 22-year tenure at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, where he most recently served as Chief Operating Officer.

During this time, he oversaw world-class engineering, IT, and operations teams through significant growth, acquisitions, and integrations, while helping ICE scale from a startup to a leading global financial technology firm.

As Chief Administrative Officer, Pelsinger, who is joining Acrisure from Palantir Technologies, will oversee Acrisure’s legal, human resources, and regulatory affairs functions while assisting our business development teams.

During his time at Palantir he served as Global Head of Corporate Development, which included collaborations across diverse sectors such as insurance, financial services, blockchain, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, aviation, telecommunications, and space exploration.

Additionally, he led the creation of Palantir Japan and Palantir Korea both aimed at bringing Palantir’s technology to commercial and government customers in their respective markets.

Prior to Palantir, the executive served as a corporate lawyer at A&O Shearman.

Commenting on his appointment, Pelsinger said: “I’ve been impressed with how Acrisure has transformed both their brand, and the way they’ve evolved their technology and AI capabilities to better service clients across the board. I look forward to working with Mark, and joining Greg, John and the exceptional team at Acrisure.”
