In this appearance on the InsTech podcast, Dom Sindall, Head of Digital Broking, Facultative, and Stephen Sheehan, Head of Analytics, Facultative, explain how digital trading, automation and better data could reduce facultative placement times from days to hours or even minutes.
“Innovation happens at the conflict between different topics,” Dom explained. “And when we think of insurance and break that into different topics, what’s really interesting — and what’s happening and what I’m learning — is if you bring data and you bring analytics and you bring technology, broking, and underwriting expertise all together along with the product mindset, which is what I’ve picked up in the scaling startup, you can do really interesting things.”
Stephen discussed how he has helped shape the data standards across the facultative segment.
“Because I’m within the broking team, I’ve seen firsthand how the data flows through the placement process and into the reinsurance marketplace and how it’s then used downstream for decision-making,” Stephen continued. “That intersection point between broking, analytics, technology is a key area that really motivates me.”
