Beyond Risk Scores: The New Intelligence Driving Insurance Underwriting | 10 Industry Leaders

In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding brings together ten leaders from across insurance, data, and technology to explore how spatial intelligence, real-time data, and climate modeling are reshaping risk assessment and underwriting.

Mark Varley, Simon De La Hoyde, Izik Lavy, Jacob Grob, Joan Saladich, Caroline Grey, Pierre-Henri Janssens, Bryan Falchuk, Jay Wallace, and Nick Franz examine why insurers need more than greater data volumes to gain an advantage. The discussion explores point-of-quote accumulation, property-level geospatial analysis, probabilistic climate intelligence, and the value of embedding spatial context early in underwriting workflows.

The group also considers emerging opportunities in post-binding cyber intervention and agricultural risk data, while examining how integrated technology, proactive portfolio analysis, and clean-sheet thinking can improve risk selection, profitability, and long-term competitive advantage across insurance markets.
