Summary

Joining Insurance Thought Leadership over 10 years ago, Paul Carroll’s motivation was his belief that of four areas yet to be disrupted by digital innovation, insurance was one of them. This week Matthew Grant caught up with Paul Carroll to ask after 11 years of looking at insurance, how are insurers doing with technology? Key talking points include: Looking back, we predicted greater disruption: the fault of regulation and risk capital The industry metabolism and its speed Dinner with Bill Gates When looking at insurance, are there disruptors equivalent to Microsoft? The birth of catastrophe modelling after Hurricane Arthur in ‘92 The ‘Trough of Disillusionment’ The rise of the platform The Laws of Zero How has the way we consume information digitally changed?

0:11.4	I'm Zoya, the Instech podcast producer.
0:15.1	This week, Matthew is on the podcast with Paul Carroll, editor-in-chief of Insurance Thought Leadership, as a leading commentator in
0:22.9	insurance for over three decades and a career spanning from the Wall Street Journal to multiple
0:28.6	Pulitzer Prize nominations. Tune in to hear his conversation, Matthew. We are currently experiencing
0:34.6	some nice summer weather here in London. We're taking a break from our evening events,

1:49.4	perplexity to make the introduction of that's okay. And I'll come back and you can score
