Non-Executive Director services
For insurers, insurtechs, and automotive OEMs
Insurance and insurtech businesses require board-level expertise that combines regulatory knowledge, operational experience, and strategic vision. Resnova provides Non-Executive Director services for insurance carriers, insurtechs, MGAs and automotive OEMs developing insurance operations.
Led by Andy Wright, who served as MD of a Gibraltar-domiciled insurer for three years and former Branch CEO of Tesla Insurance Europe’s UK and German branches, our NED services bring hands-on operational experience rather than theoretical advisory. Andy currently serves as Non-Executive Director at Zego Insurance and brings practical insights from building and operating insurance businesses across multiple jurisdictions.
WHY OPERATIONAL NED EXPERTISE MATTERS
Insurance boards face complex regulatory requirements, capital adequacy challenges, and operational decisions that require specialist knowledge. Effective Non-Executive Directors provide independent oversight, regulatory expertise, and strategic guidance based on actual implementation experience.
For insurtech startups, experienced NEDs bridge the gap between technology innovation and insurance regulatory reality. For established carriers, independent board members bring fresh perspective on operational optimisation, market expansion, and regulatory strategy.
Board composition directly impacts regulatory approval processes. Authorities assess board capability, relevant experience, and governance frameworks when evaluating authorisation applications and ongoing supervision.
OUR APPROACH
We provide strategic board oversight focused on regulatory compliance, operational effectiveness, and business growth. Our approach combines independent governance with practical industry knowledge gained from CEO and executive roles.
Regulatory expertise includes authorisation processes, ongoing compliance frameworks, capital adequacy requirements, and supervisory authority relationships across multiple jurisdictions. We understand what regulators expect from board oversight and governance structures.
For insurtech companies, we provide perspective on balancing innovation with regulatory requirements, scaling operations while maintaining compliance, and building sustainable business models in regulated insurance markets.
Strategic guidance covers market entry decisions, jurisdictional selection, partnership evaluation, and operational optimisation. We help boards navigate complex decisions with practical insights from actual implementation experience.
We participate actively in board discussions, committee work, and regulatory interactions. Clients engage us for substantive contribution, not box-ticking compliance.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Our NED services support insurtech startups seeking experienced board members for regulatory credibility, established insurance carriers requiring independent oversight, automotive companies developing insurance operations, and private equity investors needing insurance expertise for portfolio companies. We work with organizations from early-stage startups through established carriers pursuing strategic transformation.
WHY RESNOVA
Andy served as MD of a Gibraltar-domiciled insurer for three years, managing board relationships, regulatory compliance, and strategic direction.

Andy is currently an NED at Zego Insurance Ltd, demonstrating active involvement in fast-growing insurtech operations. We understand both the startup insurance environment and established carrier operations, bringing relevant expertise to diverse board contexts.
We provide substantive board contributions focused on outcomes. Directors engage us for practical guidance on complex insurance decisions, not generic corporate governance advice.
