Angelica Solutions, a collaborative network of senior insurance specialists, supporting insurers, MGAs and InsurTechs with data-driven and actuarial solutions, has added Amy Illingworth, an experienced insurance product and pricing leader, to its collaborator network.
The appointment builds on the firm's model of bringing together specialists to help clients navigate complex assignments across pricing, underwriting, product development, data analytics and commercial strategy. Illingworth's first assignment through the network has been an interim Head of Pricing role with an MGA client.
Illingworth is a qualified actuary with more than 15 years of experience spanning global insurers, InsurTechs and fast-growing businesses. Her background combines actuarial work with product development, pricing and commercial leadership, and she has been involved across the insurance product lifecycle, covering financial modelling, pricing, customer experience, underwriting relationships and product governance.
She has previously directed insurance product strategy in several international markets, brought new insurance products to launch, and helped organisations strengthen their underwriting and pricing functions. Having worked with both established insurers and emerging start-ups, she brings a broad view of the commercial and technical issues insurers currently face.
Rather than operating as a conventional consultancy, Angelica Solutions has built a flexible group of senior specialists who collaborate as needed, allowing clients to draw on tailored expertise for each project while retaining the agility required for fast-moving or complicated work, alongside the reliability associated with a professional consultancy.
Established in 2019, Angelica Solutions works with insurers, MGAs and insurtechs on data-led decision-making across pricing, underwriting, reserving, claims analytics, product development and regulatory change.
Angelica Solutions Founder and Director Sarah Vaughan said, 'One of the strengths of Angelica Solutions has always been knowing how to bring together the right expertise for the challenge in front of us. Every client is different, so rather than trying to fit projects into a fixed structure, we've built a trusted network of experienced specialists who complement our core team.
'Amy brings an exceptional combination of technical capability, commercial thinking and product experience. Having people of her calibre within our collaborator network means we can continue to assemble the right mix of expertise for each project, whether that's pricing transformation, product development, underwriting strategy or broader business change. Amy's first project has been taking on an Interim Head of Pricing position for an MGA client'.
Illingworth added, 'I've always enjoyed working on complex insurance challenges that require both technical expertise and commercial thinking. Angelica Solutions has built a strong reputation for solving difficult problems through collaboration and I'm looking forward to working alongside Sarah and the wider network on projects where my experience can add value for clients.
