Global Insurance Transformation, Community, and the Power of Mindset with Rory Yates

In this thought-provoking episode, Jeff sits down with Rory Yates, Group Vice President of Corporate Strategy at EIS, to explore his dynamic journey from a tech-savvy athlete to a global leader in insurance transformation. Rory opens up about growing up in poverty, using sports to earn an education in the U.S., and his pivot from launching one of the first internet banks in the UK to helping reshape the global insurance landscape.

The conversation dives deep into how legacy mindsets—not legacy technology—are holding the industry back, why true transformation requires customer-centric platforms, and how insurtech is a vital ecosystem rather than just a trend. Rory shares insights on building a modern insurance stack that supports rapid deployment, AI-driven innovation, and multi-market scalability.

If you're looking for a candid discussion on the future of insurance, the power of community, the cultural divide between UK and US insurance markets, and why adaptability and openness are the keys to success, this episode is for you.
