About Kevin Oconnell

I currently lead the design of HSB\'s (a Munich Re company) cybersecurity SaaS applications, which help businesses and individuals protect themselves through assessment, monitoring, training, and process enablement.Prior to HSB\'s acquisition of Zeguro, I was the founding product designer at DataFox (now Oracle), ensuring venture capital, private equity, sales, and marketing organizations easily find and prioritize their target companies. I design useful, intuitive, and engaging products built from a human-centered perspective. I am particularly interested in leveraging AI for design systems and to empower teams to create novel experiences that facilitate learning and growth.
