Arturo names new CEO

New chief executive has served on company’s board for two years

Property intelligence company Arturo has announced the appointment of Marty Smuin as CEO.

Greg Oslan, who has served as interim CEO for the past year, will continue to serve as an advisor to the company.

Arturo provides portfolio-wide underwriting, risk and claims insights. The company aims to help insurers securely underwrite risks, lower claims costs and efficiently allocate resources.

In his new role, Smuin will be responsible for scaling Arturo, moving the company deeper into the insurance space and broadening its remit into adjacent markets. He previously served as COO and co-CEO of Weave Communications.

Smuin, who has served on Arturo’s board of directors for the past two years, has held senior executive positions at multinational organizations as well as early-stage companies, Arturo said in a news release.

“When I joined Arturo’s board, I did so with a passion for technology and a clear understanding of what Arturo has the capacity to offer: true clarity around the past, present and future of property,” Smuin said. “It is clear to me Arturo has the right technology, team and true market opportunity to do more than just grow; we can both truly transform the way we think about impactful property intelligence and revolutionize the future of insurance as a whole.”

“I’ve served on the Arturo board of directors with Marty for the last couple of years, and have also served with him on other boards of directors,” said David Silverman, managing partner at Crosslink Capital. “His track record speaks for itself, which made him the obvious choice to bring in as CEO. He has been here before and is a proven business leader and operator.

“Marty’s very passionate, especially about using technology to solve customer and industry challenges. I speak on behalf of the board when I say that we welcome him as CEO, and we look forward to continuing to work with him and the Arturo team.”
