Before joining Resilience in 2020, Brady held positions at AIG, Beazley, and Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, bringing over 15 years of industry experience to his wider remit.

Mario Vitale, president of Resilience, noted: “Killian is uniquely qualified by his deep expertise in insurance and technology to help us underwrite more effectively, work seamlessly with our broker partners, and provide better service to our clients.

“Killian demonstrates consistency and excellence in everything he does, and his passion in service to our carrier partners, trading partners, and clients is at the heart of our vision to innovate across the entire insurance lifecycle.”

With the backing of technology investment firms such as General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intact Ventures, Founders Fund, CRV, and Shield Capital, Resilience offers integrated solutions spanning risk quantification software, cybersecurity experts, and A+ insurance.
