Gavin Spencer: Chief Insurance Officer, Parsyl: Insuring perishables - bridging the data divide (265)

Parsyl is an integrated risk management and insurance solution for supply chains in food and health, which underwrites policies globally via its managing general underwriter in the US, its Lloyd’s cover holder and its Lloyd’s syndicate (Syndicate 1796). 

Robin Merttens is joined by Gavin Spencer, Chief Insurance Officer at Parsyl, to discuss how the company is able to establish its identity as a data-led insurtech and a Lloyd’s of London consortium. This episode touches on the importance of data in improving underwriting, growth and development of start-up businesses, as well as how traditional marketplaces can cooperate and collaborate with leaders of innovation.

Talking points include:

• How Parsyl translates Math into English - the power of insights from data
• The low-hanging fruit model
• Lloyd’s, consortiums, syndicates and more
• Data Darwinism
