Diego held multiple roles at CoverWallet but quickly became the Chief Revenue Officer, responsible for Product, Marketing, Sales, Operations & Strategy, Revenue Ops, and Data Science & BI. Together with the Founder & CEO, Diego led funding rounds and played a core role in CoverWallet’s exit to the largest global insurance broker Aon in 2020 and the subsequent integration. He then led Aon’s global digital arm as CRO focused on serving and growing the small client space, which grew its annual premiums to $1 billion.
