Our guest is Caribou Honig, Chairman and co-founder of InsureTech Connect, one of the largest gatherings of insurance technology professionals in the world. Before he ventured into InsurTech, Caribou spent over a decade in the financial technology sector and witnessed the digital disruption/transformation that occurred in the worlds of banking and finance.
With his vast knowledge and understanding of the insurance and technology business, along with the finance and investments that power the current surge in InsurTech, Caribou brings loads of insights to the table. Not least of which, the revelation that playing golf is no longer a necessary part of winning in our industry. Take a listen to hear his perspective on:
- The transformation (not disruption) of the industry around 8:10
- What's coming to insurance through "machine intelligence" at 12:59
- What APIs are and how they'll change the landscape at 19:17
- What the actual threat to the independent agent is (it's not what you think!) around 25:25
