Artificial today announced the appointment of Eric Joost as non-executive director on the advisory board. Joost brings a wealth of experience to the board and will enhance Artificial's strategic understanding of the market and objectives.

Joost recently joined CAC Specialty as Chief Technology and Global Markets Officer, after serving as the Global Head of Property and Casualty for Willis Towers Watson for several years. As part of the global leadership team for Corporate Risk and Broking, he was responsible for the Property and Casualty line of business and oversaw the firm's technology and digitisation priorities.

Previously, Joost served as COO of Willis NA, where he oversaw North America operations, technology, specialty client practices  and client experience. In addition to his time at Willis, Joost served as Senior Vice President at Allianz Global Risks and the Managing Director of the Financial Services Group at Aon, where he also worked on the implementation of new technologies.

I am very excited to partner with the colleagues at Artificial and their leadership team to help accelerate the use and understanding around their critical component technology that is already proving value throughout the insurance ecosystem - data / submission ingestion to smart automated decision making and downstream processing.

Eric Joost
