Tweetable Quotes:

• “The insurance industry doesn’t lack technology. It lacks the process and the cultural aptitude to say, I’m happy to make a process change. That is where our first problem is.” – Kabir Syed
• “What we are good at is data. Extraction enrichment, and it’s so cheap now, we pretty much give it away kind of thing, right? We can buy any amount of data and say, here’s everything in your systems, don’t even look at leads, we will buy all these leads, not a problem.” – Kabir Syed
