Sp Ep Risto Rossar CEO Insly: The future is already here

Todays’ Episode is an invigorating catch-up with someone who was
last on the podcast over two years ago. Risto Rossar is CEO of
Insly and is a really rare combination in that he is an insurance
business builder who realised that helping the insurance industry
fully digitise would be a better and more scalable business
proposition than continuing to grow the highly successful digital
Baltic insurance broker that he had founded. Insly continues to
grow at speed, serving fast-growing segments of the market such
as MGAs that need full end-to-end insurance software, but are
unlikely to be on the radar of the largest vendors. Risto really
gets tech and insurance – but he is also a very strong
communicator who tends to tell things the way he sees them. This
is where we come to the invigorating part that I mentioned at the
beginning. Risto’s trademark is no-nonsense, down-to-earth
analysis of what technologies are and are not likely to be
genuinely disruptive to the insurance industry. He is good at
seeing through hype and puncturing bubbles. So when someone in
his position, with his level of understanding and natural sense
of healthy scepticism starts getting genuinely excited about AI,
we all need to sit up and listen. What follows is one of the most
interesting and credible conversations about the likely long-term
disruptive effects of AI on the insurance sector I have had on
the show. If you think AI is just going to be nice productivity
tool that removes all your dull admin tasks, you need to think
again – it will do that but an awful lot more besides. The
opportunities to be seized here are enormous but are difficult
for those of us used to a very slow-moving status quo to get our
heads around. Risto is on exceptional form and is clearly feeling
energised and excited for the future – listen on and I think you
will too. LINKS:  https://insly.com/
