Kin Appoints Okta CFO Brett Tighe to Board of Directors

Kin, the direct-to-consumer digital home and auto insurance, and home finance provider, today announced the appointment of Brett Tighe to its Board of Directors. Tighe currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Okta, the world’s identity company securing AI, machine, and human identity so everyone is free to use any technology. 

Tighe brings more than 20 years of experience navigating the evolution of industry-defining companies. At Okta, he oversaw the financial strategy that guided the company from its early stages through IPO and into its current position as a globally recognized, multibillion-dollar public company. 

“Brett knows what it takes to build a company that earns trust at scale,” said Sean Harper, CEO of Kin. “He helps take businesses from early traction to durable public companies, and that requires getting both the financial systems and the customer experience right. That’s exactly where we’re focused. As we continue to expand our home insurance, auto insurance, and home financing products, Brett’s experience will help us build solutions our customers can confidently rely on for the long term.” 

The appointment reflects Kin’s continued focus on building a resilient, technology-driven company designed for long-term reliability. By focusing on scalability and operational excellence, Kin remains positioned to support homeowners even as the industry navigates a changing climate and economic environment. 

“Trust is earned when customers know they can rely on you to do what you say you will,” said Tighe. “Kin built a simple, transparent experience for customers, and there’s a real opportunity to keep improving it as the company grows. I’ve seen what it takes to build reliable systems and controls that hold up through the transition to the public markets, and I look forward to bringing that perspective to the team.” 

Before being named CFO of Okta in 2022, Tighe held several senior leadership roles at Salesforce, focusing on corporate finance and strategy during a period of massive market expansion. He holds an MBA from the University of San Francisco and a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
