Diversity, Unknown Risks & Meeting in the Metaverse : An Interview with Maria Enrica Angelone, CEO of Wallife

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast where this week we are lucky enough to be joined by Maria Enrica Angelone, CEO of Wallife.

We had a great conversation this week where we discussed a wide range of topics such as:

• Staying ahead when insuring against emerging and unknown risks
• The unique challenges of insuring genetic manipulation and biohacking
• How do you go about building a team and culture at Wallife that fosters innovation?
• Technology poses different risks to different generations.. How important is it to consider diverse age ranges when assessing such risks? 
• How do you create an interest for a new product and get capacity?
• You have recently raised your series A round, one of the largest funding rounds in the European insurtech space, what was this journey like? 
• Have you seen an uptake in demand since the world has shifted towards remote? 
• You have research first, create insurance products second but without the vanilla/run of the mill products to drive consistent income – how do you balance that challenge?
• How important will collaboration with third party tech businesses – such as advanced sensor data, biometric data – are there any exciting developments external that you are keeping an eye on?

Thank you Maria for your time, it was great to speak to you!
