Aventum Invests $12M to Launch Cutting-Edge ATOMX Tech Platform

Aventum Group has unveiled plans to invest $12 million in technology over the next two years, focusing on building an in-house technology infrastructure for its global operations. Currently, 25% of Aventum’s global workforce is dedicated to technology and IT roles, including a specialized Innovation Lab designed for rapid experimentation. The cornerstone of this investment is the creation of ATOMX, a proprietary technology platform aimed at boosting operational efficiency. Once fully implemented, ATOMX is projected to save 1,000 staff hours per month and cut costs by over $2 million annually.

ATOMX is a cloud-native platform featuring 10 API and AI-driven products designed for scalability and flexibility. Its functionalities include tools for claims, bordereau management, pricing, and dedicated workbenches for brokers and underwriters. The platform supports multiple lines of business, positioning it as a versatile solution for the group’s needs.

Over the past year, Aventum has fully integrated its 130-member tech and IT team across operations and has begun deploying the foundational components of ATOMX.

Aventum’s Chief Technology Officer, Hasani Jess, described the project as a bold step toward innovation. “Having the skills, culture, finances, and vision to execute this is rare, but Aventum always dares to be different. With our unique winning culture and a clear cost-benefit analysis, this was the obvious choice,” Jess said.

Jess, who joined Aventum a year ago, brings extensive experience from his tenure as CTO at Simply Business, where he led a major digital transformation, and from previous roles at Deutsche Bank, UBS, IBM, and Visa.

CEO’s Vision

Aventum CEO David Bearman called the project one of the most ambitious technology initiatives in the London Market. “We’ve spent the past year aligning talent and resources, and we’re now prepared to take on the challenge. Like building an F1 car, there will be extensive resilience testing, but the result will be a high-performance platform that sets us apart,” Bearman said.

In another significant development, Aventum has become fully employee-owned, underscoring its commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
