mea Platform appoints Robin Tolla as chief human resources officer
mea Platform has appointed Robin Tolla (pictured) as chief human resources officer, with the former Axa XL human resources executive joining the insurance-focused artificial intelligence company to lead its global people strategy as it continues to expand across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Tolla brings more than 30 years of human resources leadership experience, including more than 15 years in the insurance and technology sectors. Her expertise spans people strategy, organisational design and merger and acquisition integration.
Her appointment follows a period of rapid recruitment at mea, with the company adding employees across engineering, product, client delivery and client solutions. The company said Tolla will help support its continued growth and product development.
Before joining mea, Tolla was co-chief people officer at healthcare communications and technology company Real Chemistry. Earlier, she spent seven years at XL Group, later Axa XL, where she held a series of senior HR leadership roles, including vice president of HR supporting the chief operating officer of the combined XL Catlin business. During her tenure, she led HR integration work across major acquisitions and helped design operating models for the Axa XL integration.
Martin Henley, chief executive officer of mea, said: “Throughout her career in the insurance and technology industries, Robin has designed operating models and led M&A integrations inside the exact environments we now serve. Time and time again, she has showcased her ability to build organisations that absorb fast growth and turn it into business performance. That insurance pedigree, combined with her operational discipline, is precisely what mea needs at this stage.”
Tolla said: “The best insurance operators have always known that people are what make the difference, and that has not changed with AI; it has only raised the stakes. mea has built technology that owns the repeatable work and elevates talented people to the decisions that matter. Shaping the culture and organisation behind the company reimagining insurance operations is something I am honoured to be a part of.”
