Acrisure Appoints Benjamin Funk as Chief Technology & Chief AI Officer
Acrisure announced the appointment of Benjamin Funk as Chief Technology and Chief AI Officer. In this role, Funk will lead Acrisure’s global technology strategy, with a focus on AI transformation, enterprise automation, and expanding the firm’s digital client experience. He will report to Mark Wassersug, Acrisure’s Chief Operating Officer.
“Acrisure has invested heavily in AI and technology to help our clients grow and succeed,” said Greg Williams, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Acrisure. “Over the past twelve years, we’ve grown revenue more than one hundred thirty-fold by staying true to our mission of delivering the solutions our clients want and need through whatever medium they desire. Adding Ben to our leadership team will expand and accelerate the value we bring to clients, partners, and colleagues worldwide.”
Funk joins Acrisure from Palantir, where he served as Global Head of Insurance. There, he led forward-deployed engineering teams across insurance and financial services, building AI- and data-driven solutions that created significant value for clients.
“Acrisure’s vision for technology and AI is extraordinary,” said Funk. “With the company at such an important inflection point, I’m thrilled to help drive the next wave of innovation and impact for our clients and partners.”
Funk earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering from Stanford University and pursued PhD studies at the University of Cambridge before joining Palantir as an early commercial forward-deployed engineer in 2014.
“Ben’s appointment underscores Acrisure’s position as an industry innovator,” said Wassersug. “His track record at Palantir and expertise in AI will be instrumental in driving continued growth and transformation. We’re excited to welcome him to the team.”
