Cover Genius appoints David Rudow as CFO to drive growth

This strategic decision coincides with the company’s plans for expansion aimed at consolidating its position in the global insurtech industry.

Rudow, boasting more than 18 years of senior financial experience in private equity and venture-backed firms, joins Cover Genius with a strong background in financial management. Notably, he served as the CFO of nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO), a cloud-based technology company, where he played a pivotal role in the company’s financial activities, including an IPO and an acquisition valued at $1.2bn.

Angus McDonald, CEO and Co-founder of Cover Genius, expressed optimism about Rudow’s appointment, stating: “David’s demonstrated ability to optimise financial operations and implement sound financial controls aligns well with our goals for future growth.”

As CFO, Rudow will oversee financial operations and strategies to support the company’s expansion plans. This includes financial planning, reporting, and resource allocation, with his experience expected to play a significant role in achieving Cover Genius’ long-term financial objectives.

Rudow commented on his appointment: “I’m excited to join the Cover Genius team and contribute to the company’s financial goals. The insurtech sector presents substantial opportunities, and I look forward to collaborating with the executive team to drive growth and financial success.”

Rudow holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and a Master of Business Administration in Finance and Accounting from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.

The company also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing CFO Gavin Dennis, who played a key role in Cover Genius’ growth and development. Dennis led the expansion of the finance function since early 2020, facilitated capital growth, and managed acquisitions. As he transitions to his next venture, he will work closely with Rudow to ensure a smooth handover.
