Paris, France and São Paulo, Brazil – June 24, 2025

Akur8, the next-generation insurance pricing and reserving solution powered by transparent machine learning, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dino Draghi as Head of Brazil, doubling down on its strategic commitment to the country. Based in São Paulo, Dino will lead Akur8’s local operations, with a focus on accelerating commercial growth, strengthening customer relationships, and deepening the company’s presence in the Brazilian insurance market.

With more than 30 years of experience in insurance, Dino has held senior roles across leading tech firms like Guidewire and IBM. He has also advised multinational insurers like AIG and Chubb in launching new ventures in Brazil, and previously worked in renowned insurers like BNP Paribas Cardif and Mitsui Sumitomo. 

“Brazil is at a unique intersection of AI-driven automation and growing demand for more personalized insurance offerings,” said Dino Draghi, Head of Brazil at Akur8. “As the market continues to evolve, with new product development and refinement of existing lines, insurers face increased pressure to innovate and adapt. After a period of cautious transformation, Akur8’s platform has become essential for responding efficiently to changing expectations from both customers and brokers. Having worked in this market for years, I’m proud to join a company whose expertise and technology are perfectly aligned with the next stage of evolution in the Brazilian insurance market.”

Dino’s arrival reinforces Akur8’s ongoing investment in Brazil, where the company is already trusted by major insurers including Bradesco Seguros, and the solution is fully aligned with local regulatory requirements and is designed to help insurers develop more reliable, transparent, and efficient pricing processes.

"While Akur8 has been active in Brazil for over four years, we recognize the importance of being close to our customers - listening to their needs and adapting to the unique dynamics of the local market," said Pedro Pereira, Regional Sales Director at Akur8. "We believe Dino is the ideal person to act as a trusted partner for Akur8’s customers in Brazil. His expertise will be instrumental in further tailoring our use cases to address the specific challenges faced by insurers in this market."
