🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Leadership in Insurance Podcast
This week, host Alex Bond is joined by Balaji Devarasetty, CTO of Vertafore, to talk about bringing AI and outside-industry thinking to insurance technology.
In this conversation, Balaji shares:
✅ His path from banking to payments to crypto — and how that cross-industry experience shapes how he approaches insurtech
✅ Vertafore's vision for the \"Agentic Agency,\" using AI to modernize the tech stack without ripping out legacy systems
✅ How the Orange Partner Program's 40+ partners and hundreds of APIs let agencies of every size extend their platform, rather than building everything in-house
✅ How AI is closing the gap with other industries — cutting regulatory updates from days to hours and commission reconciliation from hours to minutes
✅ Why attracting the next generation of insurance talent means rethinking user experience, not just technology
It's a conversation about modernizing legacy systems without ripping them up, why the best insurtech ideas often come from outside insurance, and what it takes to build technology the next generation really wants to use.
