Reinsurance re-imagined for the future- Gavin Lillywhite SVP Xceedance
Q: How mature is the AI and technology discussion among clients, and where does Xceedance fit in?

Reinsurance re-imagined for the future- Gavin Lillywhite SVP Xceedance

Building with AI to solve your insurance business problem.
Q: What sparked the connection between AI and Ty's work at Palomar?
Ty explains it started from seeing him discuss coding for underwriting on social media, which led to a podcast invitation to share his journey with AI in insurance.
Technology & Transformation for insurance with Trust
Q: What role does regulation play in driving or slowing technology adoption in insurance?
Regulation broadens compliance needs across SOC 1/2, data hosting requirements, and carrier standards; while it slows innovation, it also sets guardrails that protect consumers and ensure stability.
Technology & Transformation for insurance with Trust
Q: How do you decide which products to kill or pivot when faced with failures?
The decision hinges on customer need and market signals—if two customers don't come, if the product doesn't meet a substantial pain point, or if there's better demand elsewhere, it's time to pivot or shut down.
