This week on the We Are Insurtech Women podcast, I had the huge pleasure of speaking with Kirstin Duffield, CEO of Morning Data, now part of Verisk.

Kirstin, who also recently joined the executive board of Verisk following their acquisition of Morning Data, brings a wealth of knowledge on insurance innovation, data, and leadership. Her insights and career is a must-listen for anyone interested in the insurtech space and the future of our industry.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Kirstin’s background, from stepping into the family-run Morning Data to leading its evolution

• How Morning Data supports brokers, MGAs, and carriers by connecting and streamlining processes

• The power of data standardisation and how it helps unlock hidden value across the insurance ecosystem

• Lessons learned transitioning from an independent business to a global organisation, with advice for others navigating similar journeys

• Why diverse leadership and creating space where people feel seen and heard is so critical
