Episode description
Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast where this week we are lucky enough to be joined by Sten Saar, CEO of Zego.
Zego is a commercial motor insurance provider that powers opportunities for businesses, from entire fleets of vehicles to self-employed drivers and riders. It combines best-in-class technology with sophisticated data sources to offer insurance products that save businesses time and money. Since its inception, Zego has believed that the problem with traditional insurance is that it holds businesses back. It’s too expensive and time consuming, and it no longer suits businesses who use vehicles to earn money. Zego’s products represent a solution to this problem for businesses based across the UK, Europe and beyond.
In this episode Sten and podcast host, Alex Bond look to the future of insurance and discuss Zego's vision for the future of mobility going into a wide range of topics such as:
- Why is it important to future think for insurers?
- Regulation seems to be the great restriction on that vision - what part can the insurance industry do to help that vision a reality
- With the complexity of risk associated with anonymous vehicles do you think we will see a rise in internal risk solutions such as Mercedes announcing its insurance for autonomous vehicles - What can insurance do to continue its relevance when we see these types of developments?
- This vision of the future isn't new (blade runner came out in the 80s!) but it does feel more tangible, do you think tech is catching up to culture?
- How important do you think art and culture are to innovation?
- Do you think insurance as an industry should be doing more to encourage a move sway from fossil fuels? If it can't be insured it would stop...
Thank you Sten for your time, it was great to speak to you!
