The Future of Insurance - InsurTech Ireland Panel Discussion with Naoise Harnett, Gerry Hassett, Peta Killian and Patrick O'Brien

In insurance, uncertainty is our business. We help people to do things where the outcome may not be clear. But how does the insurance industry itself deal with uncertainty? What do we do when the outcome may not be clear? These are the questions that we try to answer in this week’s episode of InsurTech Radio.

The discussion was recorded at an InsurTech Ireland event back in November. Our panel of experts was made up of:

Naoise Harnett, Partner at Pinsent MasonsGerry Hassett, Interim CEO at Insurance IrelandPeta Kilian, Senior Executive, Market Operations & Innovation at Lloyd’s Market AssociationPatrick O’Brien, CEO & Director at Greenlight Re

 

The group spoke about a range of topics including:

The impact on wearables on insurance,What “Big Tech" needs to do to compete in insurance, andHow insurance products might someday become invisible...

 

Despite the uncertainty, our panellists are optimistic about our future of our industry. Insurance has always enabled people and businesses to take risks. But like the people we help, the industry itself must also prepare for uncertainty. That involves peering, as best we can, into the future, imagining the type of world we might end up in, and figuring out a way to get there. Hopefully this episode provides you with that glimpse of the future and those first steps you can take to get there.
