Shownotes

Abel Travis serves as the Head of Commercial Lines Product Management for the AF Group. He is known to innovate traditional businesses through integrating Insurtech which helped him become recognized as a 40 Under Forty Business Leader in 2017.

He shares his life before he began working in the insurance industry, the companies he worked for, and how he helped improve their systems. He also explains why people are critical when it comes to innovation and how the industry can benefit from blockchain technology.

“When you’re talking about innovation, you have to be willing to fail. You also have to be willing to test, to pilot, and to learn from the failure.”
