The insurance-native agentic artificial intelligence company, mea Platform, has appointed Robin Tolla as chief human resources officer.

She joins mea after more than 30 years of experience in Fortune 100 companies, start-ups and high-growth businesses.

It included more than 15 years in the insurance and technology industries. Her expertise covers people strategy, organisational design, together with merger and acquisition integration.

In recent weeks, the company has grown its team with roles across engineering, product, client delivery and client solutions in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

“Throughout her career in the insurance and technology industries, Robin has designed operating models and led M&A integrations inside the exact environments we now serve,” commented Martin Henley, chief executive officer of mea.

“Time and time again, she has showcased her ability to build organisations that absorb fast growth and turn it into business performance. That insurance pedigree, combined with her operational discipline, is precisely what mea needs at this stage.”

Ms Tolla’s many years in senior human resources leadership with the XL Group included a key role in two major acquisitions, partnering with senior leadership to reach a $100 million synergy savings target.

In 2017, she was promoted to vice-president of human resources, supporting the chief operating officer of the newly combined XL Catlin.

In that role, she led a global team of more than 20 people and two shared service centres in India and Poland, spanning more than 2,000 employees.

A media statement said: “Through the Axa XL integration, she designed the operating model and built out the new operations and technology organisation, again delivering significant synergy savings.

“Most recently, Ms Tolla served as co-chief people officer at Real Chemistry, a private-equity backed global healthcare communications and technology company of 2,300 employees.

“After joining in 2021, she was quickly promoted to co-lead the human resources function, where she built the people strategy that supported the company’s substantial revenue growth before her departure in April 2026.”

Ms Tolla commented: “The best insurance operators have always known that people are what make the difference, and that has not changed with artificial intelligence; it has only raised the stakes. “mea has built technology that owns the repeatable work and elevates talented people to the decisions that matter. Shaping the culture and organisation behind the company reimagining insurance operations is something I am honoured to be a part of.”
