LONDON, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ACORD Solutions Group, the leading provider of next-generation digital solutions for the global insurance industry, has engaged Dave Matcham as its Global Ambassador for digital markets. In this consulting role, Matcham will have responsibility for promoting the benefits of standardised data exchange, and facilitating connectivity across key global insurance hubs. Matcham, recently retired after a long tenure as CEO of the International Underwriting Association (IUA), has been a consistent advocate of standards-based digitalisation throughout the ACORD community and the wider industry.
"Dave Matcham is an enormously well-respected leader, whose contributions to the industry as head of the IUA are recognised worldwide," said Chris Newman, CEO of ACORD Solutions Group.
