Insurance and the pandemic: how COVID-19 put insurtech front and centre

Re/insurance has changed markedly since the COVID-19 pandemic first swept across the world in early 2020. With the sector looking to build back stronger from the turmoil, many companies are finally embracing technology. But as with any revolution, change is difficult.

Send is on a roll. The insurtech company, founded by Matt McGrillis (CTO), Ben Huckel (CEO) and Andy Moss (COO), has been supplying out-of-the-box commercial insurance software since 2017, with a focus on automating tasks and consolidating the industry’s myriad data streams into a single platform which is entirely customisable depending on the needs of the user.

While the company has worked with some of the largest players in the industry, it has seen an explosion of interest in its offering since the onset of the pandemic forced a radical shift in the way we work, promoting a decisive shift in the market’s relationship with technology.

McGrillis joined the Re/insurance Lounge, Intelligent Insurer’s online, on-demand platform for interviews and panel discussions with leaders in the industry, to talk about how Send got to where it is and what the future holds for the business.
