Ep. 17: Christopher Lowell of InnSure, on how insurance innovations can enable climate tech firms to scale, and help communities adapt to a changing climate
InnSure is a nonprofit organization that fosters insurance-related innovations to address climate problems. Usually, we think of insurance as a tool for climate change adaptation—and it is. But InnSure also looks at insurance as an indispensable tool to help implement and scale emission-reducing technologies. I wanted to understand better why and how that is. I also wanted to learn about the enormous climate-related business opportunities emerging in the insurance industry, and how these relate to the set of transformative insurance initiatives commonly known as insurtech.
This episode's guest, Christopher Lowell, is a Managing Director at InnSure. He has deep expertise and hands-on experience in the insurance industry. He worked as the Managing Director of Corporate Strategy and Research at Liberty Mutual. Among other insurance roles, he also set up and led an experimental insurance innovation lab inside The Hartford.
