On the latest episode of Risk Management: Brick by Brick, Jason Reichl sits down with Henry Kowal, Director of Product Management at Arity, a technology company spun out of Allstate in 2016. The conversation, recorded at ITC (InsureTech Connect), explores how Arity is leveraging an unprecedented scale of driving data to revolutionize insurance pricing and risk assessment.

Henry shares insights on how Arity collects and analyzes over 1.3 billion miles of driving data daily, transforming how insurance companies evaluate risk and price policies. Through partnerships with connected cars and consumer apps, Arity is making insurance pricing more equitable by basing it on actual driving behavior rather than traditional proxy measures.
