BIOGRAPHY
Gustavo Dolfino is a Senior Executive with a wide scope of experience in Global Capital Markets and Education Technology. These include Debt Capital Markets, Private Wealth Management, and other highly structured transactions in the healthcare and education technology sectors.
CAREER
Dolfino is currently the founder and CEO at Claimence, LLC., a company he started that offers Insurance Carriers, TPA’s, and MGU’s an innovative, AI-driven solution designed to streamline the process of managing and investigating Management and Professional Liability Claims—from the initial submission by an Insured Party to the Carrier’s issuance of an Initial Coverage Position.
Claimence’s cutting-edge product empowers front-line claims professionals by swiftly analyzing complaints, applicable Policy provisions, and complex coverage scenarios and suggesting a preliminary coverage determination.
In 2016, Dolfino launched a Software As A Service company (SaaS), Student Global, LLC. (d/b/a myKlovr) – an online platform provider of College admissions solutions. As founder and CEO, Dolfino oversaw the design and development phases of the online app; he structured the platform to be highly scalable and able to adapt to increased demand without sacrificing performance. The technology was designed to disrupt the College admissions market, serving as a virtual College counseling platform conceived as a recurring revenue model that attempted to address the common hurdles for those seeking entrance to Colleges and Universities in the US, while democratizing access to the American dream of a College education. This was done whether by helping students gain admission to some of the country’s most renowned educational institutions, or non-elite institutions, without regard to socio-economic status. The platform provided guidance and functioned as a virtual College counselor, thus allowing students and their families to take advantage of what would have otherwise been a prohibitively expensive endeavor
Dolfino’s prior experience includes working in the Financial Services Industry at Premier Investment Banks such as UBS-International and Smith Barney, amongst others, where he participated in Equity and Fixed Income-related activities.
In the early 2000’s, Dolfino founded The WhiteRock Group, LLC. a Global Financial Services Executive Search Firm, and then went on to start WhiteRock Capital Partners, Inc. an Investment Banking Boutique.
EDUCATION
Gustavo G. Dolfino attended The George Washington University in the heart of Washington, D.C. where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree with a Major in International Business in 1990.
Subsequently, Dolfino obtained a Master of Business Administration Degree with a concentration in International Management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, a world-famous business school, now a part of Arizona State University.
ADDITIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In 2022, Time Magazine named myKlovr one of the best inventions of the year. The virtual career counselor platform that helped high-school students build a list of potential Colleges and match them with scholarships was also a finalist for the 2022 EdTech Awards. These accolades are a testament to Dolfino’s role as a thought leader and new business origination and execution capabilities.
OTHER
Although not originally trained as an insurance professional, Gustavo is passionate about the Financial Lines Insurance Coverage Business, including risk assessment and management, as well as mitigation strategies and related tools utilized in addressing the underlying exposures inherent in Financial Lines risks.
In addition, Gustavo has been involved in diverse claims scenarios. He recently successfully argued against a Director & Officer’s improper coverage denial by a major Carrier, resulting in the Carrier reverting its wrongful denial decision and issuing full coverage to the Insured Party.
