Sixfold Appoints Tony Rosa as Chief Data & Analytics Officer
"I’m here to help scale a platform that doesn’t just process submissions faster, but helps carriers grow profitably"
Sixfold, an InsurTech company focused on AI-driven underwriting, announced on Wednesday the appointment of Tony Rosa as its new Chief Data & Analytics Officer. Rosa joins from Ignyte Insurance, where he served as Chief Data & Analytics Officer and was among Sixfold’s first customers.
The move is designed to accelerate the scaling of Sixfold’s AI underwriting brain and deepen portfolio-level intelligence for insurers. The appointment follows Sixfold’s recent Series B funding round, led by Brewer Lane.
The investment is supporting the company’s expansion as it scales its AI underwriting platform from more than 40 lines of business today to broader coverage across global markets.
In his new role, Rosa will focus on building portfolio-level intelligence that allows underwriters to move beyond analysing individual submissions. His remit includes enabling teams to spot emerging risks, optimise the composition of their books, and make proactive, strategic decisions about capacity deployment rather than reacting on a submission-by-submission basis.
This represents a shift in how AI supports underwriting, from accelerating individual decisions to informing strategic portfolio management. Rosa was direct about what he observed as a customer before joining Sixfold.
“As one of Sixfold’s first customers, I saw how deeply the team embedded with our underwriters to understand what drives effective decision-making,” he said. “Sixfold started by understanding underwriting, then built AI to support it. Now I’m here to help scale that, building a platform that doesn’t just process submissions faster, but helps carriers grow profitably.”
Experience Across Data and Analytics
Rosa brings more than 15 years of experience in insurance data, analytics, and underwriting strategy. Prior to Ignyte Insurance, he held senior analytics roles at NSM Insurance Group, a global specialty insurance programme administrator managing over $2 billion in premiums across more than 30 niche markets.
At NSM, he scaled business intelligence, data warehousing, and underwriting analytics capabilities, experience that positions him to help Sixfold navigate the operational realities of deploying AI at scale across diverse lines of business.
Beyond his core responsibilities, Rosa will also lead Sixfold’s approach to responsible AI governance. This includes helping to define best practices as insurers prepare for emerging AI regulation such as the Colorado AI Act and the EU AI Act.
These are areas of increasing importance for carriers adopting advanced analytics and automation, particularly as regulatory frameworks begin requiring explainability, fairness, and auditability in AI-driven underwriting decisions.
The governance mandate is not incidental. As Sixfold’s platform scales from 40+ lines of business to broader global coverage, the company will need to ensure its AI systems meet regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions while maintaining underwriter trust.
Rosa’s background in enterprise analytics frameworks positions him to build governance that supports both compliance and operational deployment.
Founded to modernise insurance underwriting through advanced data science and machine learning, Sixfold provides insurers with AI-powered tools that help underwriters make faster, more informed decisions.
Its platform analyses vast volumes of structured and unstructured data to surface insights across risk selection, pricing, and portfolio optimisation. The goal is to support carriers as they seek to grow profitably while managing exposure in increasingly complex risk environments.
Brian Moseley, Sixfold’s Co-founder and CTO, described Rosa’s role as part of a broader strategic evolution. “Years of building AI that underwriters actually use at some of the world’s leading insurers have strengthened our vision for what’s the future of underwriting,” he said. “Tony will help us accelerate from submission-level insights to portfolio-level intelligence, driving our industry-leading appetite awareness for individual risks to understanding how they fit into each insurer’s broader strategy and portfolio goals.”
