Highlights

HUB International has created a Vice President of AI Sales Innovation position and named Faizal Mitha to fill it, effective July 1, 2026, according to a press release issued by the company.

The role is newly created. Mitha will scale AI-powered sales practices across HUB's Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Private Client, and Retirement divisions, the company said.

Mitha brings more than two decades of digital leadership and innovation experience to the position. He previously served as Chief Sales and Innovation Officer of HUB Canada Employee Benefits and Retirement, and joined HUB through a 2018 acquisition. Before that, he co-founded one of Canada's fastest-growing insurtech companies, according to the press release.

HUB deployed Anthropic's Claude platform to employees beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company said, signaling that the Mitha appointment is part of a broader internal AI buildout rather than a standalone hire.

Mitha's appointment was first announced via LinkedIn on June 16, 2026, and confirmed by a formal press release distributed through PR Newswire.

Mitha assumes the role July 1.
