Beyond the headlines: revealing the stories behind the insurance news (277)

InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant

We’re piloting a new style of podcast this week and borrowing the InsTech podcast channel to test this out.

If you are wondering what is going on behind the news items you read about in insurance or technology then this new podcast is for you. We’re bringing together experts, founders, insurers and some well know figures to tell us the news items that are capturing their attention - and why.

And we’ve got more. This week we have an interview with the CEO of Ki Insurance Mark Allan, a listener question and a chance to hear our hosts and guests predictions for 2024.

The news we’re discussing this week is:

• Ki insurance new capacity partners Travelers and Aspen
