In the latest Talking Insurance Podcast – Episode 6, host, Gerrard White's Insurance Division Director, Steve Wright sits down with two leading voices in insurance pricing, data and AI: Peter Kelly (Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting) and Chris Pearce (Chief Data Officer, esure Group). In this episode, Peter and Chris reflect on how their careers grew from underwriting, pricing and analytics into senior data leadership, and what that journey looks like inside modern insurers. Together with Steve, they explore what to watch in 2026—from shifting market dynamics and the need for faster “speed of execution” in pricing, to why retention, lifetime value and customer experience are becoming decisive competitive levers. The conversation also gets practical on AI: how esure is scaling GenAI through multiple use cases that “stack” to deliver operational value, and how Consumer Duty is reshaping model governance, fairness and the way the industry thinks about vulnerability.Useful Links & Partner Solutions:- Talent Advisory Solutions: www.vermelorpo.com- Specialist Insurance and Legal Recruitment Agency: www.gerradwhite.com- Insurance Pricing Recruit-Train-Deploy Programme: www.flarepeople.com👉 Subscribe for more episodes of Talking Insurance: https://www.youtube.com/@TalkingInsurancePodcast#InsuranceCareers #UKInsurance #MIB #motorinsurance #technologycareers
