Targa Telematics appoints Adam Gooch as UK Director of Insurance

Adam will be responsible for bringing the market leading technologies of Targa Telematics to the UK InsurTech market as the demand for technologically advanced solutions accelerates

Targa Telematics, one of the world’s leading players in AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) for the development of digital solutions and platforms for connected mobility, announces the appointment of Adam Gooch as Director of Insurance in the UK. Adam will be responsible with overseeing Targa Telematics’ InsurTech offering and expanding its footprint in the UK as the sector continues to scale up. One of the main reasons for this growth is the rising demand and use cases for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) data not only for connected insurance purposes, but also across wider car, van, and commercial vehicle markets.

With over twenty years of experience across the insurance ecosystem, spanning telematics and InsurTech providers, legal services and major insurers, Adam has a track record of launching products, driving growth and performance while forging long-term partnerships with clients. He has held senior director positions at well-established UK telematics service providers, where he significantly grew business’ units he was responsible for, managed insurer relations and product development, and led operations and marketing. 

Targa Telematics is a key player in the global connected mobility market, serving major clients including Generali and Unipol in the InsurTech sector or Arval, Ayvens and Motability Operations UK for fleet services. Leveraging data generated by OEM sensors, Targa Telematics’ ecosystem of solutions delivers detailed driving-based risk profiles, accident reconstructions, streamlined claims-management tools and effective anti-fraud systems. The Company also provides insurers with the technology and expertise needed to implement usage-based insurance (UBI) policies, supporting emerging mobility models such as car sharing and peer-to-peer services.

In 2025, Targa Telematics was recognised with the prestigious “Frost & Sullivan European Market Leadership” award for the development of digital solutions for fleet management and UBI across Europe. Frost & Sullivan rated Targa Telematics’ portfolio as one of the most comprehensive on the market, highlighting its modular and scalable platform that seamlessly integrates telematics devices with cutting-edge software. 

“Now is the moment for advanced telematics solutions to truly transform the UK insurance sector. As insurers and fleet operators face increasing pressure to control costs, protect customer data and enhance efficiency, the need for innovative, data-driven solutions has never been higher,” said Chris Horbowyj, UK Commercial Director at Targa Telematics. “The appointment of a seasoned professional like Adam will significantly strengthen Targa Telematics’ offering and capabilities in the insurance segment. His deep market knowledge, combined with a relentless commitment to results, will be instrumental in further elevating our strategy and expanding our footprint in the growing UK insurance market.”

“With its global presence, state-of-the-art technology and industry-leading expertise, Targa Telematics is ideally placed to lead the next chapter in the InsurTech sector and bring significant advantages from merging trends and learnings from Europe to the UK. Moreover, Targa Telematics is one of the few players that can really leverage OEM data to create best-in-class services, and I believe we can deliver major value not only to the connected insurance industry but also standard markets. I am thrilled to join the company at such a pivotal moment and look forward to building on its numerous strengths to help insurers unlock the full potential of OEM and telematics-enabled insurance”, said Adam Gooch.
