“We are thrilled to welcome Hilario to the team,” said Vishal Kundi, co-founder and CEO of BOXX. “[Co-founder Mike Senechal] and I have known Hilario for nearly as long as we’ve been building BOXX, and his knowledge, experience and passion are going to be huge assets for us. Hilario has spent the last few years on the development side of insurtech, and his decision to join us is an endorsement of and testament to all the work we’ve put in at BOXX – and we don’t take that lightly. We couldn’t have asked for someone more capable for this role.”
