Executives from Marsh, CAC Specialty, and Woodruff Sawyer have joined SecondSight to work alongside President Jamie Bouloux in driving the company into more business areas.
Bloomington, Indiana, October 21, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Insurance industry operating system developer SecondSight today announced the appointment of six senior executives responsible for leading the company's expansion into more business areas. Derek Foreman will serve as Chief Operating Officer, Dan Shoten as Chief Customer Officer, James Tullett and David Anderson as Co-Directors of Customer Interaction, Kenneth Ross as Director of Channel Strategy, and Doug Schulkin as Director of Revenue Operations.
These executives collectively possess experience leading the network insurance teams at Marsh and Woodruff Sawyer, being responsible for the operations of CAC Specialty's private equity business, as well as working at insurance companies such as AIG, Chubb, and Travelers. This appointment follows SecondSight's recent completion of Series A financing and Jamie Bouloux's assumption of the presidency.
SecondSight President Jamie Bouloux stated: "Brokers need to help clients understand their risk exposures and make informed insurance decisions. Underwriters and portfolio managers, on the other hand, need to understand how these risks affect the business portfolios they manage. We have assembled a leadership team with frontline experience in the fields of brokerage, insurance companies, and technology. Their expertise will help us focus our technology on truly important decisions and assist clients in putting it into practical application."
SecondSight indicates that its operating system SHAPE learns from the client's own data and external signals to reveal how risks are interconnected and constantly evolving. Intelligent analysis generated based on traceable evidence can help brokers, underwriters, and executives anticipate risk exposures and seize growth opportunities.
