In this episode of Making Risk Flow, Juan de Castro speaks with Bill Bloom, a board member at Aviva Canada, Bamboo Insurance, and Foundation Risk Partners. Over his 28-year career, Bill has led the strategic direction at global insurers and consultancies, including Accenture, The Hartford, and Aviva. He has also played a leading role in integrating technology, data, and analytics in insurance operations and claims management. During the course of their fascinating discussion, Juan and Bill discuss why the insurance industry has evolved slowly and the challenges it faces in both underwriting and claims. Bill also shares his insights on the need for digitisation, standardisation, and the deployment of artificial intelligence to improve efficiency and customer service too.
