Good morning, good afternoon and welcome. This is Matthew Grant, partner at INSDEC, London.

Well, life might be slowing down now for some, but we've been hard at it

over the last few weeks digging out the people, companies and themes we think you'll find

interesting in the world of data, analytics, technology and insurance. And whilst there's no

shortage of information available these days, it can be quite hard to get to solid facts. So we've

been reading the

Willis quarterly insured-air briefing for quite some time and it was great to have a

chance to talk to Andrew Johnson who is responsible for the Willits briefing and who

draws on a team from across Willis and beyond. Since recording this Willis has

released its Q2 report available to download from its website. And if you're wondering what

else we're up to at Instect London, as well as these weekly podcast episodes, then do take a look

at www.index.london. Andrew, thanks for joining us today.

Great to have you calling in from New York.

It seems to be one of the benefits we all get being locked down this now that we can

seem to be even easier to track people down in different parts of the world.

So great talking to you.

Your background is another person that seems to

find a way into insurance from a slightly unusual background. So today, you're head of InsureTech

at Willis Rie. I'm interested talking to shortly about how you see InsureTech as a concept evolving.

But before that, you were working for the United Nations as expert historical consultant.

You spent some time in Cambodia as a researcher. So really interested in a minute to hear

a little bit about what took you from that into insurance. But first of all, thank you for joining
