VOOM, an insurtech company for high-risk vehicles, has appointed Amir Shneider, former Digital Marketing Lead at Bank Hapoalim, as Head of Marketing. VOOM develops products for new mobility segments, and its data-driven, usage-based insurance products are designed for various high-risk, episodically-used mobility verticals, including drones, light aircraft, motorcycles, e-scooters and e-bikes.

Shneider will replace Ilan Yusim, who for the past three years led the company’s marketing activities and oversaw the successful launch of its first product, Skywatch AI drone insurance, which has become a leading provider of digital commercial drone insurance in North America.
