On this special episode of Agency Nation Radio, Will Jones, editor-in-chief of Independent Agent magazine, chats with Amy Zupon, chief executive officer, and Rick Warter, chief customer officer, both from Vertafore, during last month’s Accelerate conference in Las Vegas. The Accelerate conference is an annual event for independent agents and brokers and Vertafore users to connect, learn, and get a look at what’s next for Vertafore and the industry. During Jones’ conversations with the two Vertafore leaders, they chat with him about digital transformation, keeping a human in the loop and, of course, AI. “What I think AI brings to our digital transformation is something new that is going to drive us much faster than you’ve ever seen innovation happen in the channel before,” Zupon says. “It gives us opportunities for agencies and carriers to work differently than they have in the past.” Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic to share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure - stories that helped shape their careers.
