Aquiline, a private investment firm specialising in investments in the financial services and technology sectors, has named four new Partners – Daniel Flueckiger, Stewart Koenigsberg, Dante La Ruffa, and Matthew Woeste.
Since its founding 20 years ago, Aquiline has been committed to generating returns for its investors by building businesses designed to help solve the problems faced by the financial services industry. Each of the new partners has distinguished himself through unique contributions to the firm’s growth while also embodying Aquiline’s foundational principles.
Flueckiger joined Aquiline in 2019. He leads the London office and the firm’s European investing activity. Most recently Daniel served on the board of Quintes, one of the largest independent insurance brokers in the Netherlands which was sold to Brown & Brown.
Koenigsberg also joined Aquiline in 2019 and is the firm’s Chief Financial Officer. Stewart has been instrumental in further institutionalizing Aquiline’s platform and has played a leading role in structuring several recent funds, particularly in credit. He also serves on the firm’s management committee.
La Ruffa joined Aquiline in 2017 as one of the first members of the investing team for Aquiline’s venture fund. He was appointed co-head of venture last year and most recently led the firm’s investment in Mirador, a family office investment reporting solution provider which was sold to iCapital. He has focused primarily on investment management and insurance technology.
Woeste joined Aquiline in 2013 and leads the firm’s investments across insurance technology and services and legal technology. He serves on the board of Ontellus, a provider of health records retrieval and claims intelligence. Recently, it was announced that Ontellus will be acquired by Datavant.
