We’re proud and happy to announce that Nicole Schepanek, managing partner at BCG, mainly focused in their insurance practice joins our advisory board. Nicole shares a deep passion along with us of bringing powerful and enabling technologies to the insurance industry, where she has done so successfully at her own firm Aureus in helping insurers work together with innovative insurtechs and advising all stakeholders across the value chain. We are joined by the insight that for insurers to tap into new innovative technologies and digital ecosystems, they will need a powerful core data structure and API’s to integrate the latest technologies — insurance in a box.
