Salesforce Account Team Point of View
Audience: Salesforce Financial Services Account TeamKi Insurance is a high-priority, high-velocity Salesforce opportunity. As the world's first algorithmic Lloyd's syndicate crossing $1B GWP and simultaneously completing its separation from Brit Insurance, Ki must build its own operational infrastructure at scale and speed.
1Account Overview
Ki Insurance (Syndicate 1618) is the world's first fully digital and algorithmically driven Lloyd's syndicate. In 2024, Ki grew GWP by 16.6% to $1,039.2M and delivered $52.6M profit. As of January 1, 2025, Ki became a standalone Fairfax Group entity.
2The Strategic Paradox
Ki's growth ambition is in tension with its operational reality: newly standalone, thin margins, and a follow-only model that structurally constrains growth. Salesforce FSC resolves this paradox by providing the operational platform that matches Ki's algorithmic ambition.
3Why Now
The 12-month post-separation window (2025) is the critical investment period. Ki is actively building its standalone infrastructure. Salesforce engagement now means shaping the architecture before procurement gets involved.
4Opportunity Size
A Salesforce FSC deployment at Ki represents a £1.5M–£3M initial programme with significant expansion potential as GWP grows toward $2B.
5Why Ziipline
Ziipline's Lloyd's market expertise and track record in complex Salesforce transformation programmes in financial services makes it the only credible delivery partner. We understand ECF, Crystal, and PPL integrations that Ki requires.
