Nenad Valverde is a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and operator with a proven track record of scaling startups from early-stage to multi-billion-dollar success. He co-led the exit of DeinDeal, one of Switzerland’s leading e-commerce platforms, and later played a pivotal role in building wefox from a seed-stage insurtech into a $ 4.3 billion unicorn.

As CEO of wefox Germany and a member of the executive board, Nenad was instrumental in driving the company’s growth from zero to over $ 700 million in revenue, scaling teams across multiple countries, and overseeing partnerships that defined wefox’s embedded insurance strategy. His leadership was central to navigating the company through hypergrowth, international expansion, and successful M&A deals in the hundreds of millions.

Fluent in six languages, Nenad has led high-performing teams across Europe and built strategic alliances with major players in fintech, insurtech, MGAs, and retail. He was among the early adopters of AI in insurance operations, using technology to boost efficiency, customer experience, and data-driven decision-making.

Beyond wefox, Nenad is an active startup investor and advisor, committed to empowering early-stage founders with capital and guidance. His unique blend of strategic vision, operational execution, and global mindset has made him a sought-after leader in the tech and insurance industries.
