Christopher, who will be based in Germany, joins Artificial’s executive leadership team and will be responsible for driving the company’s European strategy. His focus will be on building market presence and establishing relationships with brokers and carriers across key markets.

The expansion will initially start in Germany and Switzerland, with plans to extend into other major European markets, including the Netherlands and France.

“Expanding into continental Europe is a natural next step for Artificial,” said David King, Co‑Founder and Co‑CEO of Artificial. “Christopher brings deep expertise and a strong network across the European insurance market. His experience positions us well to introduce our platform into new markets and support brokers and carriers navigating increasing complexity and cost pressures.”

Christopher brings more than 25 years of experience in the insurance industry, including senior leadership and board roles across the European market. He spent 18 years at Allianz, including leading Allianz Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) in Central and Eastern Europe.

Christopher said: “The European insurance market is still highly manual, with brokers and carriers facing increasing cost pressure and operational complexity. Artificial addresses these challenges directly by improving efficiency and enabling better decision-making across placement and underwriting. The opportunity to help establish this as a standard approach across European markets is incredibly exciting.”

Artificial’s expansion into Europe builds on its established presence in the London Market and follows its recent US expansion, marked by the appointment of Eric Joost to lead its North American strategy.
