JERUSALEM, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Israeli fintech company Vesttoo said on Wednesday it named Ami Barlev as interim chief executive officer, replacing Yaniv Bertele, who was in charge during a fake collateral scandal.
The firm noted Barlev specializes in the areas of corporate governance, business development, crisis management, and managing companies in complex situations.
Vesttoo, which uses artificial intelligence technology to connect the insurance industry and capital markets, is also in contact with regulatory bodies worldwide.
Vesttoo provides insurers with access to so-called insurance-linked securities - an alternative form of reinsurance.
