Ep 33 | Building Tomorrow’s Insurer | Faster Than the Storm: Lynn Roehrig on Parametric Insurance and Climate Risk


Listen Later

When climate volatility rises, the need for fast, transparent insurance has never been greater.

In this episode of Building Tomorrow’s Insurer, host and Kanopi CEO Nigel Fellowes-Freeman speaks with Lynn Roehrig, Head of Business Development at Descartes Underwriting, about the growing role of parametric insurance in a world where natural catastrophe (nat cat) risks are accelerating.

They unpack how parametrics shift the conversation—from loss adjustment and delays to real-time data, pre-agreed payouts, and clarity for risk managers and brokers alike.

🎙️ Tune in to hear:

  • How parametrics are complementing traditional insurance—not replacing it

  • Why speed, transparency, and automation matter more than ever

  • What clients and brokers are asking for in the face of climate risk

  • How underwriting is evolving through AI, satellite data, and modelling at scale

This episode is essential listening for anyone involved in commercial lines, reinsurance, NatCat, or product innovation.
