Christy Kaufman, former head of strategy, governance and compliance at the venture capital arm of American Family Insurance Co., has joined online real estate marketplace Zillow Group Inc. as vice president of risk management.
Ms. Kaufman, who is also a board member of the New York-based Risk & Insurance Management Society Inc., joined American Family in 2017 after 10 years at Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. where she held various positions, including head of enterprise risk management.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Ms. Kaufman was one of the 2017 Business Insurance Women to Watch.
A homeowner has filed a lawsuit against online realty website Zillow, arguing the company’s unpopular “Zestimate” function repeatedly undervalued her house by as much $64,000, creating a “tremendous road block” to its sale, according to an article in Wednesday’s Washington Post.
