Show notes
The insurance sector owes its existence to data and insurers were some of the first companies to utilise data expertise. Yet, being an early adopter isn’t always as great as it seems.

In this episode, Maria Ferrés joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss the complexities of creating order from data chaos in the insurance industry.
