His primary focus included growing the mid-market and enterprise business for products that included the Lightning Platform, Heroku platform-as-a-service, integration, security and IoT offerings.

“Coalition has such an incredible opportunity to help organizations become more resilient in the face of increasing cyber risks and to create an entirely new category of insurance for the digital economy,” said Dylan Steele. “Chasing technology threats with even more technology can create a vicious cycle and I believe Coalition has a novel approach to managing risk and providing companies of all sizes with simple, actionable steps to protect themselves as they aim to get the best out of new technologies.”

Joshua Motta, Coalition co-founder and CEO said, “Our vision of providing the first holistic solution to cyber risk is massive, and we need exceptional talent to achieve this. We’ve experienced rapid growth into new markets over the past year, and Dylan’s demonstrated history of expanding organizations’ global footprints is exactly what we need as we continue to build the cyber insurance company of the future. We are thrilled to announce this new addition to our team.”

The company was also recently included in Forbes’ 2021 Fintech 50, a list that recognizes the most innovative fintech companies, as well as Inc. Magazine’s 2021 Best Workplaces.
