The Chairman of the Nigerian Insurers Association, Kunle Ahmed, is set to speak at the upcoming Insurance Meets Tech.
In a statement on Thursday, it was disclosed that the NIA chairman will be a Guest of Honour at West Africa’s leading platform for converging insurance and technology innovations, colloquium, and discourse on policy environment and operational efficiencies.
Ahmed, who is also the CEO of AXA Mansard Insurance, joins a high-powered lineup of leaders from key insurance institutions, who have now confirmed their participation in the leading conference.
They include the President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, Babatunde Oguntade; the President and Chairman of the Council of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, Mrs Yetunde Olubunmi Ilori; the President of the Professional Insurance Ladies Association, Mrs Abimbola Onakomaiya; and the Commissioner for Insurance/Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission, Mr. Olusegun Omosehin.
Convener of the Insurance Meet Tech and CEO of Modion Communications, Odion Aleobua, said the presence of the NIA chairman would provide for a robust conversation at the conference.
“Having the Chairman of the NIA on board is a monumental buildup to this event. Kunle Ahmed is not only a respected leader in the industry, spearheading the premier umbrella body, but he is also a dedicated advocate for the digitalisation and tech-led innovations within the Nigerian insurance sector.
“There couldn’t be a better time for him to join us at the IMT, especially following the passage of the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act and the launch of the NIA Innovation Lab. His insights and perspectives will undoubtedly enrich the discussions at the conference,” he said.

He was a former partner at McKinsey & Company, with deep expertise in financial services, FMCG, and strategy consulting, and the founder of BehaviorTech.
