“There’s not going to be a single industry that will be disrupted more by the contextual data revolution than insurance,” said Julian Teicke, co-founder and CEO at Wefox Group.
Complacency, according to Julian, represents the biggest issue facing insurance. He painted a stark picture of an industry in stasis.
To some, insurance – in its current form, at least – is a mechanism for delivering shareholder value, but not consumer value. As Julian put it: “For the last 200 years, insurance was the best business model in the capitalistic world.”
Julian believes that, rather than trying to grow, insurers try to wring more profit from their existing customers with higher premiums and opaque product bundles.

“You pay back a little bit less to the customer than they paid in,” said Julian. “So, essentially, it’s a money multiplication machine.”
“There’s no urgency whatsoever [from large insurers],” he continued. “A big revolution is happening beneath the surface, and it’s going to be a big one for the incumbents.”
