I had the privilege of lecturing today at Duke University for the Master in FinTech program, where we dove into how AI and analytics are being applied at insurance companies and in the insurtech space. We covered a lot in 90 minutes, from how insurance works at the highest level down to very specific applications of AI, data science, and analysis. Finally, I shared some stories from working at fast-growing startups like Shift Technology and Kalepa, and I was able to meet with students afterwards to chat about more about AI applications in insurance. Thank you to John Fimbel and Jimmie Lenz for having me and to the dozens of students who pretended to laugh at my jokes. With Paul Monasterio | Duke Master in FinTech

The latest in the Value Creators series by BCG on Insurance zeroes in on the importance of strong underwriting for driving total shareholder return, especially among top performing commercial insures. The article provides a deep drive on leading insurers' TSR from 2019-2023 and offers guidance for insurers seeking to match their performance: "Commercial insurers need to build (or strengthen) a high-performance underwriting culture that emphasizes in-depth, specialized expertise" and "technology and data designed to support specialized underwriting processes."

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, and to honor the bravery of those who risked everything to save others. At Kalepa, we stand in solidarity with all who continue to feel the impact of this day. We will never forget.

From McKinsey & Company: "We are seeing a lot of organizations getting stuck in what we call “pilot purgatory” for several reasons. One is misplaced focus on technology versus what matters from a business perspective." In the latest episode of McKinsey on Insurance, Jörg Musshoff sat down with Cameron Talischi and Khaled Rifai to discuss why insurers are missing the mark with Gen AI and how they can shift to an approach that delivers real ROI. At Kalepa, we focus on using cutting-edge AI to power underwriters in achieving their growth, profitability, and efficiency goals. Our out-of-the-box deployment means insurers see the value from day one - not months (or years!) later, so you can short-circuit the pilot purgatory.
