Nigel Walsh: Managing Director of Insurance, Google: Scaling up the future (229)

This week Matthew Grant is talking to Nigel Walsh, Managing Director of Insurance, Google Cloud.

You'll find out why Google launched its recent “start-up” - Google Cloud - growing in excess of 36% quarter to quarter.

Nigel is well known for his love of insurance and engagement across a whole range of innovative topics - and his annual predictions. He relocated to the US from the UK last year so we get a perspective of how attitudes, and technology, vary on both sides of the Atlantic.

Topics include

• What’s changed since the phrase “Insurtech” was invented 7 years ago?
• What consumers really want?
• Don't mistake a clear view for a short distance
• Are insurers returning as investors with a fresh appetite for innovation?
• Predicting the future and scoring past forecasts
