Kin, a direct-to-consumer digital home, auto insurance and home finance provider, has appointed Okta Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Brett Tighe to its board of directors.
During his tenure at Okta, Tighe oversaw the company’s financial strategy, which guided the company from its early stages through its IPO and its current status as a globally recognized multi-billion dollar public company.
The appointment reflects the insurer’s continued commitment to building a resilient, technology-driven company designed for long-term reliability.
Prior to joining Okta in 2022, he held multiple senior leadership roles at Salesforce, focusing on enterprise finance and strategy during large-scale market expansion.
Sean Harper, CEO of Kin, commented: “Brett knows how to build a company that earns trust at scale. He helps businesses grow from early traction to enduring public companies, which requires building the right financial systems and customer experience.
“That’s exactly what we’re focused on. As we continue to expand our home insurance, auto insurance and home financing products, Brett’s experience will help us build solutions that our customers can confidently rely on long-term.”
Tighe added: “When customers know they can trust you to do what you say you will do, you earn trust. Kin has created a simple, transparent experience for customers, and we have a real opportunity to continue to improve it as the company grows.”
“I have seen how to build reliable systems and controls to support the transition to public markets, and I look forward to bringing that perspective to the team.”
