Background

About Tim Ross

Strategic Business Builder | Innovation Leader | Ecosystem Partner I'm a proven business leader with over 15 years of experience launching ventures, leading cross-functional teams, and unlocking new market opportunities at the intersection of insurance, mobility, and technology. Known for his ability to challenge assumptions and build what doesn’t yet exist, Tim blends strategic vision with hands-on operational leadership. I have held leadership roles across the innovation ecosystem, from founding an award-winning retail brand development firm to driving strategic partnerships and go-to-market execution at Munich Re. At Munich Re, I have led the development of mobility ventures, created insurer/OEM alliances, and scaled a tech-enabled fleet portfolio while shaping the carrier’s ecosystem approach to autonomous vehicles and telematics. I specialize in navigating complexity, building from zero, and aligning product, data, and distribution in sectors where the rules are still being written. My expertise spans venture development, product innovation, underwriting strategy, ecosystem partnerships, and brand positioning. I bring a systems-level view of how insurance markets evolve and a builder’s instinct for accelerating from concept to commercial impact. I also serve as an advisor to several early-stage startups and am a frequent speaker on innovation, risk, and the future of mobility.
