Christyn Yoast has been named President of BOXX USA, while Hilario Itriago, previously leading the company’s U.S. market efforts, takes on the newly created role of President for Latin America.
Yoast joins BOXX from Beazley USA, where she served as North American Head of Distribution and Underwriting, in addition to overseeing the company’s global API strategy. Her extensive experience, including leadership roles at Amwins and AIG, positions her to drive BOXX’s continued growth and innovation in the US market. Yoast’s appointment underscores the company’s commitment to scaling its presence in the U.S. with a strong focus on cyber insurance solutions.
Itriago, who played a crucial role in BOXX’s entry into the US. market, will now lead the company’s expansion into Latin America. A highly regarded figure in the region’s insurance industry, Itriago is also Chairman of Insurtech LATAM, a key accelerator for the insurtech sector in Latin America. His previous experience as CEO of RSA Latin America, where he oversaw operations across six countries, will be critical as BOXX continues to grow its footprint in the region.
“Millions of consumers in Latin America now enjoy the benefits of being online and this is sparking the need for products like BOXX’s that help consumers and businesses stay ahead of digital threats,” said Itriago.
Highlighting the significance of these hires, Vishal Kundi, CEO and Co-founder of BOXX Insurance, stated, “We are excited to welcome Christyn to our leadership team. Her impressive background and track record of driving exceptional results make her the perfect fit to lead BOXX ’s continued growth and innovation in the USA.”
Kundi further emphasized the strategic importance of Itriago’s new role: “As we aim to advance our mission of creating a digitally safer world, Latin America is a natural next step. Hilario’s experience in the USA and deep connections within the LATAM insurance market will be invaluable in achieving this.”
