Insurance focused data and actuarial solutions provider Angelica Solutions has added Matt and Katherine Goldsmith to its portfolio of insurance collaborators. 

The new additions have over 35 years of pricing and underwriting expertise across motor, home, travel and commercial vehicle insurance.

In her new role, Katherine Goldsmith will bolster the firm’s ability to deliver commercially impactful, data-led propositions.

Meanwhile, Angelica Solutions said Matt Goldsmith’s technical background as an ISTQB professional ”will further strengthen the company’s ability to deliver scalable, future-ready products”.

Sarah Vaughan, founder and director at Angelica Solutions, said: “Earlier this year we marked six years in business and are proud of our growth, bringing in brilliant people who care about quality as much as we do.

”Matt and Katherine Goldsmith fit our ethos perfectly as highly capable, easy to collaborate with individuals who are focused on what matters. Their addition strengthens our hybrid model, combining a core in-house team with a trusted network of consultants.

”This gives us the flexibility to build bespoke teams around each client brief, whether it’s risk pricing, regulatory audits, claims analytics, team design, or interim leadership across personal and commercial lines.”

Experienced duo

Both new collaborators join from their positions as directors at MLK Solutions UK.

Prior to this role, Katherine Goldsmith held positions as head of product services for over two years at Axa and pricing services lead at Acabai.

She said: “The breadth of work at Angelica ranges from technical build to strategic thinking and is delivered with care and integrity.

“It’s great to be part of a team that’s collaborative, humble and genuinely committed to helping clients succeed.”

Having built and maintained rating engines using Radar and Python, Matt Goldsmith has used his expertise to drive pricing transformation across international teams.

He added: “We’ve always respected the way Vaughan and her team operate, which is driven by a genuine desire to do good work.

“Joining the associate network felt like a natural step and it’s great to work alongside people who know what good looks like and how to deliver it.”
