Ep 38 The future of insurance is now, with Stephen Brittain of the Insurtech Gateway

I always think one of the main missions of the Voice of Insurance
is to give you access to industry leaders so you can find out how
they think and what they think about the big issues of the day.


These are people that you’ve almost certainly heard of but not
necessarily heard from.


But there is a second mission which is to introduce you to people
who you almost certainly don’t know but who I think have got some
very interesting things to say.


In my line of work I get to meet lots of fascinating and very
talented people and it’s nice to be able to introduce some of the
less well known ones to you.


Todays’ guest is one of these.


We have heard an awful lot about the Insurtech phenomenon over
the last 4 years. A whole industry has grown up around it.
Frankly some of it has been very poorly explained and executed.


Stephen Brittain’s job is to provide a link between the insurance
folk and the tech people who often seem to inhabit completely
different planets.


I always enjoy talking to Stephen because he is incredibly smart
and is buzzing with big and challenging ideas. The conversation
always takes an unexpected turn or two.


But unlike so many bright sparks he is really good at explaining
himself to people less intelligent than he is.


So if you’re not a techy here is someone I can highly recommend
you listen to – I’m pretty sure it will make you think
differently about insurance.


And if it does that that is another one of my missions complete.
