Spot On Insurance Welcomes Ursula Merten
Ted Taveras
I have spent the last 20 years helping insurance professionals navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance
We frequently hear that the insurance industry is sitting on a gold mine of information – if only we can harness the power of technology to tap it.?Few, however, truly understand the profound impact that such analytics can have on every facet of our business.?That’s why Ursula Merten has a saying, “Better your data, better your life.”
Ursula is the Director of Insurance Strategy & Transformation at omni:us, an Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS) provider for cognitive claims management.?The company brings together technology experts and serial entrepreneurs with strong B2B and insurance industry experience.?Ursula herself has over twenty years of experience as a claim analyst, reinsurance analyst/manager, and account manager, among others.?She led a global team of internal auditors for AIG before taking on her current role.?Ursula is also a sought-after speaker and thought leader on the changing workforce, women in insurance, technology, and succession planning.
She joins us to discuss obstacles she faced as an “unconventional” young woman in an industry often dominated by a that’s-how-we’ve-always-done-it mentality.?Ursula explains how to claim our power as insurance professionals, no matter our demographic.?She also addresses the impact of the accelerating pace of change in the post-pandemic world.?The insurance ecosystem, she explains, generates a “firehose” of incompatibly structured data.?Ursula seeks to provide the tools to structure and align those data streams to optimize downstream operational and regulatory processes.?Finally, we discuss the human factor in AI.
