About the company

Our journey began in 2000 in the garden shed of our co-founder, Theo Duchen, who-together with fellow former McKinsey partner David McDonald-set out to reinvent insurance technology. From those start-up beginnings, Acturis has grown into a global SaaS leader transforming the insurance industry.
Today, over 100,000 users in 40+ countries rely on our platform to run and grow their businesses. By partnering closely with brokers, insurers, and MGAs, we continue to shape modern insurance across both personal and commercial lines.
