NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — weSure Global Tech announced today the appointment of Deborah McGuire, EMBA, as Chief Executive Officer of its U.S. digital insurance platform helping independent agencies place small commercial business faster.

Her appointment reflects weSure’s commitment to modernizing how independent agents quote, bind, and grow their small commercial books.

“Independent agents are the heart of this industry, and they deserve technology that works as hard as they do. weSure was built to make it faster and easier for agents to say yes to more small businesses. My vision is to take that further: smarter underwriting, broader appetite, and a partner experience that feels personal at every step. The future of insurance distribution is digital and human at the same time, and weSure is positioned to lead it.” DEB MCGUIRE, CEO, WESURE

As CEO, McGuire will focus on expanding weSure’s agency partner network, accelerating product and platform innovation across Workers’ Compensation, BOP, Cyber, and E&S, and deepening the integration between insurance and payroll that sets the weSure/Hourly model apart.

She is also a respected industry advocate, serving in leadership and advisory roles that support the development of future insurance professionals.

“Deb is the rare leader who has scaled major insurance operations, built InsurTech from the inside, and led at a national payroll company. That’s exactly what weSure’s next stage of growth demands. She doesn’t just see where this industry is going; she knows how to get us there.” EMIL VAINSHEL, CO-FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, WESURE TECH
