Confused.com veteran joins Open GI as CTO

Insurance software provider Open GI has appointed former Confused.com chief technology officer (CTO) Andy Brockway as its new CTO. 

Brockway will lead Open GI’s technology directorate and brings more than 20 years of experience in technology leadership to his new role. 

His career includes 23 years at Confused.com, where he started as a software engineer and rose through the ranks to become CTO. Under his technical leadership, Confused.com became one of the UK’s most popular aggregators.

Most recently, Brockway was global CTO at Retail Insight, which develops technology for the retail industry. 

Strategic vision 

Open GI chief executive Simon Bradley commented: “Brockway’s deep technical expertise, strategic vision and industry insight make him a fantastic addition to our leadership team. We’re excited about the fresh perspective and energy he’ll bring as we enter our next phase of growth. 

“Last year we invested £8.5m in technology and Brockway’s appointment underlines that commitment and our role as a friend to the UK broker and MGA market.” 

Brockway added: “It’s great to return to insurance and I’m thrilled to be with Open GI. It’s a truly dedicated team – a trusted partner – and it’s doing lots of innovative, exciting work for the UK insurance community. 

“I can’t wait to play a key role in accelerating that innovation further and ensure Open GI continues to be the right tech home for hundreds of brokers and MGAs.”
