What Digital Insurance LatAm does

Digital Insurance LatAm is a privately held strategy consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in Chile, positioning itself as the first consulting firm in Latin America specialized exclusively in innovation strategy and digital transformation for the insurance industry. The firm serves five vertical customer segments: insurance carriers (primary), insurtechs and insurance startups, insurance intermediaries, insurance software factories, and investment funds. Its service mix spans four pillars: (i) fast-track strategy development for innovation and digital transformation, (ii) solution selection and implementation support using internal solutions or a curated network of more than 100 insurtech startups, (iii) human capital development through training, conferences, workshops, and coaching, and (iv) Corporate Venture Capital investment advisory delivered in partnership with HCS Capital.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond pure advisory into training, research, and community assets. CDI+Latam is a certification program delivered through a partnership with TDI Academy, with Hugues Bertin serving as Academic Director and the next cohort scheduled to begin June 5, 2025. The LatAm Insurtech Journey is an annual research report published in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, complemented by country- and vertical-specific Insurtech Radar Maps covering Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, and the Caribbean. The firm co-produced an Open Insurance Whitepaper with AIP (Alianza Insurtech Panamericana), runs an Insurtech VIP Lounge community, and operates a collaborative YouTube channel that connects insurtechs across Latin America with insurance-sector buyers.

The firm is founder-controlled, with Hugues Bertin as the sole named executive. Bertin brings 20 years of insurance experience, including senior roles at BNP Paribas Cardif (CDO and CFRO), Mercer, PwC, and BNP Paribas Argentina (Vice President), and is also a partner in the HCS Capital investment fund, Academic Director at TDI Academy, President of AIP, and Co-founder/Director of InsurteChile and the Asociación Insurtech de Colombia. The operating model is sales-led: direct enterprise engagement with insurance companies, partnerships with TDI Academy and HCS Capital for distribution, and content marketing through LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and a multilingual resource library. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is consistent with project-based professional services fees.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company (Insurance Practice): Top-tier strategy consultancy with a dedicated insurance practice covering LatAm. Overlaps on insurance digital transformation strategy work but competes from a brand, scale, and methodology standpoint rather than vertical specialization.
• Bain & Company (Insurance Practice): Global strategy consultancy with an insurance industry practice covering LatAm. Overlaps on insurance strategy and digital transformation engagements and competes on senior-staff credibility and global benchmarks.
• EY (Insurance Advisory): Big-4 insurance advisory serving carriers on transformation, risk and technology. Competes for the same LatAm insurer modernization budgets with broader functional coverage and global delivery capability.
• KPMG (Insurance Consulting): Big-4 insurance consulting practice covering LatAm. Competitively overlaps on insurance digital transformation, risk and finance modernization mandates.
• Accenture (Insurance Industry Practice): Global systems integrator with an insurance and insurtech practice. Overlaps on implementation-heavy digital transformation work in LatAm, where the firm selectively partners.
• Deloitte (Insurance Industry Practice): Global Big-4 consulting practice serving insurance carriers on strategy, transformation and technology. Overlaps with Digital Insurance LatAm in LatAm insurance transformation engagements but offers a vastly larger bench and broader portfolio.
• BCG (Insurance Practice): Global strategy consultancy with insurance and fintech transformation practices. Competes with Digital Insurance LatAm for high-end insurance transformation mandates in LatAm, especially with multinational insurers.
• PwC (Insurance Practice): Global Big-4 with a large insurance and insurtech advisory practice; also a former employer of the founder. Directly competes for the same insurance transformation mandates in LatAm with much greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers
