Beema’s CEO & CBO win Outstanding Leadership Award!

Nicola Garelli (CEO) and Indraneel Jain (CBO) were both given the “Outstanding Leadership Award”, and Beema was named “Best Company” at the Money2.0 conference in Dubai, UAE! 

You know what they say: behind every successful company is a great team; and behind every great team, is a great leader. And at Beema, we’ve been lucky enough to have not just one, but several great leaders heading our team that have motivated and encouraged Beemies to excel in their roles through their guidance and mentorship. 

This week, two members from Beema’s unique management team were recognized for their roles in spearheading a mere startup in 2019 into one of the most successful InsurTech companies in just 2 years. We couldn’t be prouder of our CEO, Nicola Garelli, and our Chief Business Officer, Indraneel Jain, on the recognition of their hard work, innovation, and most importantly, their leadership; without which Beema would not have achieved all that it has in such a short time. While this doesn’t come as a surprise for Beemies, or for those who’ve worked with Nicola and Indraneel in the past, we're thrilled to receive a recognition as such from an esteemed organization. 

The nominees for this award were selected on a case-by-case basis among thousands of potential candidates by Money 2.0’s panel of experts. The selection was quite exclusive, with shortlisted candidates being individually assessed based on their education, experience, qualifications, and contributions to the industry. The award winners were honored on a global stage at the conference in Dubai - and out of the hundreds of assessed individuals, a total of just 40 winners were selected. 

“It’s extremely rewarding to be recognized for something like this. Everyone at Beema works tirelessly to find better solutions and stronger value propositions for our customers and these awards are a testament to the hard work & collaboration of our full team", said our CEO Nicola Garelli

Beema also snagged the “Best Company” award on the second day of the 3-day conference. This comes on the heels of Beema winning The Global Economics’ award for “Fastest Growing InsurTech Company” earlier this year, and Entrepreneur Middle East’s award for “Best InsurTech Solution” in 2021. And none of it could have been possible without our outstanding leadership and rockstar team, who’s dedication to Beema’s vision & success allows us to achieve milestone after milestone. Here's to many more!
