Ondo InsurTech PLC (LSE:ONDO), a specialist in claims prevention technology for home insurers, has announced the expansion of its LeakBot programme into Washington state.

This follows successful launches with Nationwide in Ohio and Pure in New York - both of which will operate in the Pacific north-west state. Ondo already has engineering support in Washington in the form of Mutual of Enumclaw.

"I am also encouraged to see both Pure and Nationwide expanding with us into a second state, supporting our strategy to roll out each partnership on a carefully managed state-by-state basis," said Ondo CEO Craig Foster.

In the same announcement, Ondo said it had appointed Wendi Leibovitz as director of customer success for North America.

This role is vital for supporting the US sales team, as highlighted during Ondo's recent investment roadshow, the company said.

Leibovitz, a licensed property and casualty insurance agent, joins Ondo from SimpliSafe, where she managed embedded partnerships. She took up the role on June 3, reporting to Jim Strickland, general manager, North America.

CEO Foster said: "The customer success role is a key hire for Ondo, and we could not have found someone more ideally suited than Wendi with her expertise, experience and industry-specific knowledge."
