BOXX welcomes affinity sales leaders to their North American team

As BOXX enters its next phase of growth, we are very excited to announce two new sales appointments to develop our affinity business and partnership channels in North America, to fulfill our mission of making the world a digitally safer place. 

Kathleen Tobin has been appointed to BOXX’s Head of US Affinity Sales & Strategic Partnerships. She has built a successful career driving business development and enterprise partnerships with top tier global financial service organizations and payment networks. Kathleen’s extensive experience includes working with top financial brands including Citi, Equifax, Mastercard, VISA and Bank of America where she consistently drove new product innovations within affinity channels.  

“I am very excited to bring BOXX’s innovative solutions and technology to the US strategic partnership ecosystem, and to make BOXX a highly sought-after partner of all-in-one cyber insurance and protection products for consumers and SMEs,” said Kathleen about her appointment to BOXX. 

In Canada, Jim Hand was appointed to the Head of Canadian Affinity Sales & Strategic Partnerships after being a digital and affinity leader in the Canadian insurance and telecom industries. During this time, he developed strategic partnerships and tailored insurance solutions with top Canadian banks, professional associations and member groups that drove substantial growth. 

“I am very much looking forward to breaking new ground in the dynamic and emerging cyber sector. Having worked within Canada’s top affinity networks, I am excited to build on my track record of success to bring BOXX’s innovative cyber solutions to the Canadian marketplace,” said Jim about his appointment to BOXX. 

 “We are incredibly proud to have Kathleen and Jim choose BOXX for the next chapter in their respective careers,” said Eric Newman, COO, BOXX Insurance. “Their experience and expertise is of great value to our North American affinity partners, who will be able to better serve their customers and employees with our risk prevention and cyber safety services.”  

Affinity partnerships are commonplace in the insurance and financial industries, as they are an opportunity to enhance offerings by bringing new technologies and solutions to small businesses and consumers through their robust customer networks. 

“To be able to attract such experienced talent to BOXX is a testament of our innovative approach and model. At a time when many technology and financial service organizations are engaging in layoffs, BOXX is continuing to add top talent and attract significant investments, notably our recent Series B announcement,” said Vishal Kundi, CEO & Co-Founder of BOXX. 

Please join us in welcoming Kathleen & Jim to BOXX!
