TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Margeaux Giles, Founder and CEO of Irys Insurtech, Inc., a cutting-edge software platform with a mission to break down the agency management system barriers erected by large legacy competitors, was honored today at a NYSE event by NYC FinTech Women for her industry achievements, influence, and advocacy of women in fintech.

NYC FinTech Women’s mission is to connect, empower, and promote women in FinTech. The organization’s annual Inspiring FinTech Female list recognizes women who, in their role, are transforming fintech and are advocates for women and gender equity. Giles was one of 50 women selected out of a pool of 300 candidates for this year’s list.

Giles’ first-hand experience and frustration with existing legacy agency management systems inspired her to create a new generation platform that utilizes machine learning (ML) and generative artificial intelligence (AI) to aid insurance brokers by providing critical information exactly when it’s needed. Together with a team that is 75 percent female, Giles brings the insurance industry a system that bridges gaps and fosters collaboration via a single platform where everyone in the value chain can converge, communicate, and operate seamlessly.

“I am honored to be recognized alongside this roster of amazing women who, every day, are bucking the status quo to blaze a trail of success in fintech,” said Giles. “By shining a light on exceptional women, NYC FinTech Women showcases inspirational role models for the next generation of fearless female leaders.”
