Insurance focused Send Technology Solutions Ltd has named Chris Newton (pictured) as its new chief technology officer. He joins from Immersive Labs, where he was the vice president of engineering. Prior to that he was head of engineering at Just Eat.

Send said the appointment made it possible for co-founder Matt McGrillis to move into the newly created role of chief product officer and ensure the business remained focused on delivering future innovation and investment.

Andy Moss, CEO of Send, said: “The industry now recognises the transformative potential of pre-bind technology to drive profitability and achieve deeper, more insightful underwriting decisions. We’re committed to investing in our Underwriting Workbench and the technology that powers it, to ensure it delivers the superior functionality, seamless integration, and user experience we know underwriters want.”
