Buckley joins Twenty7tec from iPipeline, where she was a member of the UK senior management team, leading the revenue teams for the protection portal business.

In her new role as CRO, Buckley will be responsible for helping identify new customers who will benefit from Twenty7tec’s product range.

Buckley said: “I’m delighted to be joining the company at such an exciting stage, and I’m particularly inspired by the dedication of the team and a genuinely ambitious roadmap that promises meaningful improvement across our industry.”
