Latarche rejoins Verisk Specialty Business Solutions as Chief Digital Officer

Paul Latarche has been appointed Chief Digital Officer of Verisk Specialty Business Solutions, a leading insurance and reinsurance software specialist in the global re/insurance markets.

In his new role, Latarche will lead Verisk Specialty Business Solutions’ digital growth strategy in the UK and across international markets.

His responsibilities will include developing a progressive digital vision that supports business objectives and pursuing strategic alliances and expansion opportunities in new markets.

Additionally, as part of his role, Latarche will also support the ongoing global expansion of Whitespace, Verisk’s all-in-one digital platform that enables brokers, underwriters, and managing general agents (MGAs) to offer, negotiate, and place business across the global re/insurance market.

Described as the only truly digital platform of its kind, Whitespace supports a wide range of business classes and geographies, which now include US-based brokers, wholesalers, carriers, and risks.

This expansion builds on the platform’s strong momentum in the London market, where nearly 170,000 lines have been written in 2024 alone, more than triple the volume recorded in 2022 according to Verisk. Whitespace is also available in China, Spain, France, Belgium, Dubai and Singapore.

Latarche is rejoining Verisk from Swiss Re, where he most recently served as chief commercial officer for Reinsurance Solutions, responsible for commercial strategy across the Americas, APAC and EMEA regions.

Prior to Swiss Re, the executive was chief commercial officer at Verisk Specialty Business Solutions from 2018 to 2022, leading the international sales team. He was also the co-founder of Rulebook, the insurance technology platform acquired by Verisk in 2019.

Tim Rayner, president of Verisk Specialty Business Solutions, said: “I am delighted to welcome Paul back to Verisk to lead our team’s digital vision across the UK and international markets.

“Paul’s extensive experience will help shape our propositions to deliver best-in-class digital experiences, and his appointment demonstrates our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the digital space.”

Latarche added: “It’s a privilege to return to Verisk at such a pivotal time for the industry. The opportunity to shape the digital future of a company with such strong foundations is incredibly exciting.

“I know first-hand what a talented team there is at Verisk, and I’m looking forward to working with them to drive digital innovation, unlock new market potential and deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients around the world.”
