The Leadership in Insurance Podcast - S1, E15, Frank Perkins CEO of INARI.IO

In this week's episode, I was joined by Frank Perkins who is CEO of INARI.IO INARI.IO is an Instech operating out of Barcelona. They offer a next-generation insurance platform, they digitize and virtualize the different things that happen in the life cycle of risk.   In this episode we discuss Startups are not for everyone - creativity is as important as hard work  How the people that join at inception may not be the people to necessarily take you to completion  "Is the juice worth the squeeze" Insurance is big enough to have many problems to solve but is it a big enough issue  Insurers cannot tackle small problems - Instechs can  Innovation can be any change that creates value  The insurance culture of the fast follower can inhibit innovation   Fresh eyes to insurance are important but regulation requires insider knowledge  We should always be asking how change or innovation impacts the customers  We need to tackle each point of innovation to make things better in the aggregate for the commercial customer  Restrictions of regulated businesses and the MVP tech model   Insurance isn't broken   Connected technology is key to the future success of insurance  How connectivity between technologies is key to progress and also how consumers will judge tech  Buy vs make - the shift of mindset over time - integrate vs make job roles in insurers  Cost vs Risk with buying or making tech   Teams are built on skill, luck, and serendipity  The best definition of Innovation so far - "slightly rounder wheels"   Thanks to Frank for being a great guest - I mention the Star Wars background - you can see this on the YouTube channel so go check it out.This podcast was brought to you by FinPro​​ an executive recruitment business that works in the Insurance and Instech space   Our host is FinPro Director, Alex Bond.
