Microinsurance provider scaling operations and risk management in Peru
Protecta is Peru's first microinsurance company, founded in 2007, serving underbanked populations with life insurance, annuities, and specialty products. The tech stack is operational and analytics-focused—Python, R, Power BI, Tableau, AWS, Azure—rather than engineering-heavy, paired with hiring that skews toward finance and operations roles. Active pain points center on investment portfolio monitoring, real-time financial visibility, and operational-to-accounting reconciliation, suggesting the company is scaling internal controls and risk infrastructure as it grows.
Protecta designs and distributes microinsurance products—life coverage, annuities (rentas vitalicias), motor (SOAT), workplace injury (SCTR), and loan protection (desgravamen)—primarily through strategic partnerships. The company operates in Peru with 201–500 employees. Product focus remains on accessibility and simplicity for populations with limited insurance options. Internally, the organization is managing growth in finance, engineering, and operations, with concurrent initiatives to automate risk reporting, refine investment governance, and improve claims and benefits administration.
Python, R, Power BI, Tableau for analytics; AWS and Azure for cloud infrastructure; Selenium and Jenkins for automation; Cisco for networking. Also uses Adobe, Google Ads, and standard office productivity tools.
