mea Platform, an AI-native insurance technology company, has announced the appointment of Mina Sahib as regional vice president for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
In her new role, Sahib will be responsible for leading mea’s expansion in the MENA region, working with reinsurers, carriers, brokers and MGAs to introduce agency AI solutions to their operations.
The executive has nearly two decades of global insurance experience. She began her career in 2008 with State Farm Insurance in Toronto, Canada, focusing on property and casualty (P&C) insurance.
After relocating to the Middle East in 2013, she held a variety of leadership roles specializing in operations, digital transformation and enhancing customer experience.
“Mina has spent much of her career helping insurance companies digitally transform across the Middle East,” said Max Richter, CEO EMEA Platform at mea Platform. “As the industry moves from AI experimentation to operational deployment, her regional expertise and industry relationships will be critical in scaling MEA operations across the market.”
Sahib also founded Women’s Insurance Network – MENA (WI MENA) in 2020 to network and mentor women insurance professionals.
She also recently founded The Code Consultancy, which advises regional insurance companies and insurtech companies on transformation, implementation and strategy. Previously, she was an associate at Celent, supporting the global insurance business in the Middle East.
“The insurance market in the Middle East is investing heavily in AI as they look to build and expand their digital strategies,” said Sahib. “Mea’s solutions include targeting key pain points in our industry, and our AI platform tailored for insurance provides insurers with a range of modular solutions that can impact operational efficiencies and contribute to their overall data strategy. I look forward to supporting the introduction of these capabilities to the region’s insurance industry.”
