Former Hiscox Exec Jodi Cartwright Joins Cross-Border Fintech Tint Financial to Develop SME Insurance

London-based Tint Financial Services, the London-based cross-border fintech dedicated to simplifying and enhancing trade for SMEs and their supply chains, is delighted to announce the appointment of Jodi Cartwright as Chief Commercial Officer. She joins the founding team of Tint Financial, bringing extensive experience from her previous roles most recently as Distribution Director at Hiscox.

Tint has quickly gained recognition in the industry for its innovative platform, which has successfully facilitated the global flow of USD $20 million worth of goods within just 6 months of trading. The platform aims to bring together all the key services required when trading internationally, including trade finance, insurance, FX, logistics, compliance, and ESG support. As a result of this groundbreaking innovation, SMEs have quicker access to capital and a more seamless solution, with all essential services available in one platform.

Jodi Cartwright, who joined the founding team towards the end of last year, expressed her excitement about the opportunity to innovate within the insurance industry. She stated, “The insurance industry doesn’t have a great track record of innovation compared to other sectors. We have spotted a unique opportunity to seamlessly combine trade finance, insurance, and other key services, making life easier for clients who want to trade internationally.”

Tint will initially offer trade credit and marine cargo insurance, with plans to expand to further covers based on client needs. The company also aims to leverage AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies to drive convenience and efficiency for its clients.

“We’re integrating top-tier technology from the market with custom-built solutions that enhance value for our clients and our business,” Jodi emphasised. “The comprehensive suite of services offered on our platform is groundbreaking and unparalleled in the market – and we’ve got a great opportunity to be leaders in this space. It’s an exciting time to be joining Tint and I look forward to helping the team during this pivotal phase of its journey.”

Tint is committed to closing the gap in global trade complexity and lack of funding, which currently holds back more than 30% of potential global trade. By making trading internationally easier for SMEs, Tint aims to help them realise their growth ambitions.

“We are thrilled to have Jodi Cartwright join our team as Chief Commercial Officer. With her wealth of experience in the world of insurance and innovative mindset, we are confident that she will play a vital role in driving Tint Financial’s growth and success,” said Steve Rose, CEO of Tint.
