Founder and CEO
As the founder and CEO of travel insurance provider Crisis Cover, Carole Tokody’s main responsibility is creating value around the company’s geolocation tracking, travel safety and security proposition. Focused on growing the company by creating new and innovative ways to ensure the safety of travellers, Tokody also puts a high priority on creating an agile environment where others like to work.
Tokody has more than 15 years’ worth of experience in executive and marketing leadership positions across the global travel insurance, medical and assistance industries. After working internationally in London and New York, Tokody established Crisis Cover to deliver services better suited to the safety and security needs of travellers and international students. In May, the company launched Student Parachute, a pay-as-you-go membership offering designed to support international students.
“The travel, tourism and hospitality industry has been decimated by the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak,” Tokody says. “Starting a new travel-related business at this current time is challenging, but we are highly optimistic that we have had the opportunity to better understand the needs of travellers.”
