The risk concierge at your service

In the past, betting on change in the insurance industry never was a particularly winning play. Whether it was deregulation, the advent of the World Wide Web, or the proliferation of insurtechs, the total disruption often predicted somehow never quite came to pass.

In 2018, two years before the Covid pandemic, only 12% of insurance executives reported prioritizing true digital transformation. Four years later, this number jumped to 64%. So many insurers have recognized that simply digitizing existing processes is not enough. Digital transformation powers entirely new classes of risk products, broader, across more lines and with more advice and service.
