🎙️ What does it really take to build resilience in an industry facing tomorrow's risks today? At Insurtech Insights USA 2025, Dawn Miller, Chief Commercial Officer at Lloyd's and CEO of Lloyd's Americas, joined moderator Lisa Wardlaw on stage for one of the most talked-about sessions of the conference Protect, Prevent & Pioneer: Building Resilience Through Innovation.

It's about the layering." → Lloyd's has ~$2.5bn in available capacity ringfenced specifically for innovative classes because sometimes innovation doesn't perform perfectly at the outset, and that has to be okay. → On AI and data: you can't put the gloss on top without building the foundation first. Master data management isn't boring it's the prerequisite. The room was full. The energy was electric. The conversations didn't stop at the door. That's what happens when you bring the right people together. ✨ And we're thrilled to share Dawn Miller is returning to the Insurtech Insights USA 2026 stage. More details coming soon.
