NEW EPISODE: We Are InsurTech Women
This week Charlotte Gregory is joined by Darcy Rittinger, Chief Legal and Risk Officer at Cover Genius — who joined the business in 2018 as its first American employee and has helped build it into a global embedded Insurtech powerhouse ever since.
We're recording this one hot off the back of Cover Genius' $100M Series E, led by Vista Credit Partners — a raise that comes as the business hits EBITDA positive and doubles down on AI infrastructure and acquisitions.
Darcy also shares a detail from the round well worth celebrating: for the first time, the VCs and the lawyers on both sides of the table were women.
In this conversation, Darcy shares:
✅ Her path from private practice, to claims counsel at AIG, to building the Hartford's first admitted cyber policy, to InsurTech
✅ Why understanding risk from the claims side made her a stronger product and portfolio leader
✅ The reality of building a career in law, risk, and insurance — three still male-dominated fields — and the mentors and sponsors, both men and women, who opened doors along the way
✅ Why allyship has to run both ways, including candid advice on helping male leaders recognise their own unconscious bias
✅ Her honest advice for the next generation of women considering a career in insurance
A brilliant conversation about building distribution, building trust, and building a career on your own terms.
