Headed by Greenlight Re’s Chief Operating Officer Michael Belfatti, the new unit will use technology, data and new risk transfer delivery mechanisms to improve the products and services available to insurance company clients, as well as to underlying individuals and businesses, said the company in a statement.

Greenlight Re’s innovation strategy recognizes that technology is advancing at a rapid pace, generating ever-growing sources of data, which can be used to improve risk management for the benefit of businesses and individuals, affirmed Greenlight Re.

“New technologies are emerging almost on a daily basis that will transform the way companies do business and individuals live their lives,” said Belfatti. “Individuals and companies understand that these technologies and data sources should be used to improve lives and businesses, not just benefit service providers.”
