Accelerant, based in Atlanta, recently welcomed Jay Green as global chief financial officer. Green will begin his tenure with the company on Nov. 1, according to a press release.
“Jay is a strategic thinker who has consistently sharpened our perspective on how to expand access to capital and better align incentives across the insurance value chain,” said Jeff Radke, CEO and co-founder of Accelerant. “Jay has demonstrated that he will be a strong financial steward, and I’m confident that he will be a key contributor to our continued growth. We’re thrilled to have him join the team as we continue to transform the industry for the better.”
Under his new role, Green will be tasked with overseeing Accelerant’s financial strategies, investor relations and capital markets.
The executive most recently served as managing director and head of insurance structured finance at Goldman Sachs, and previously held senior roles in the capital markets divisions of Guy Carpenter & Company and Swiss Reinsurance Company.
He will now contribute his efforts to Accelerant. Founded in 2018, the company specializes in guiding underwriters with support through the use of superior portfolio management, data analytics and long-term capacity commitment across the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.
“I’m excited to join Accelerant and bring my experience to bear on behalf of investors and insureds as we improve outcomes in the space by fundamentally reshaping infrastructure available to underwriters,” Green said. “It’s a great opportunity to join a team with an aligned worldview and a big opportunity ahead.”
