VIPR appoints Tom Boucher as Non-Executive Chair following Bridgepoint investment

London, 29 September 2026: VIPR Solutions, the insurance-native technology platform for Delegated Authority intelligence, has appointed Tom Boucher as Non-Executive Chair. Tom joins following the recent investment from Bridgepoint Group in VIPR and will work with Co-Founder and CEO Paul Templar and the management team as the business continues to expand internationally, develop its AI capabilities and make its platform simpler and faster for clients to adopt.

Tom brings more than 30 years’ experience across software, technology, data and insurance. As a CFO and Chair, he has helped lead four successful private equity exits for multiple sponsors. His experience includes Sequel Business Solutions, a software provider to the complex commercial and specialty insurance market that is now part of Verisk. Sequel was backed by Hg, a leading technology investor, where Tom later became an Operating Partner. 

Tom is also a co-founder of Foreworth, a B2B software platform providing developer productivity analytics, and serves on the board of Goal Systems, a private equity backed global provider of transportation software.

Tom Boucher, Non-Executive Chair of VIPR, said: “The global Delegated Authority insurance market is growing rapidly, yet many of the MGAs, brokers, carriers and reinsurers are under-served by high quality software and data solutions providers. VIPR is a market leading software partner, with solutions that span compliance and onboarding, data ingestion and processing, work-flow management to data analytics and is poised to accelerate its growth as it delivers operational efficiency and improved insight to its clients.

“I’ve spent much of my career in specialty insurance software, and I’m excited to work with Paul, the management team and Bridgepoint to build on what VIPR has achieved.”

Paul Templar, Co-Founder and CEO of VIPR, said: “Tom understands both the complexity of specialty insurance and what it takes to grow a software business. His experience will be valuable as we bring VIPR to more markets, deepen our capabilities and make it easier for clients to get the information they need from their insurance data. We’re delighted to welcome him as Chair.”
