In this episode, I enjoyed talking with Denise Garth, the Chief Strategy Officer for Majesco. Denise is responsible for leading marketing, industry relations, and innovation to support Majesco’s client-centric strategy, working closely with Majesco customers, partners, and the industry.
She is a recognized Top 50 InsurTech Influencer and industry leader with both P&C and L&A insurance experience as a CIO and business executive with deep international ties in Asia and Europe through her ACORD leadership role. Denise is an acknowledged strategic thinker, innovation leader, international speaker, and author of thought leadership and articles regarding the industry's key issues and opportunities today to prepare for the future.
In October 2020, Denise was recognized as Top 50 women in SaaS for 2020 for her contribution to the SaaS industry.
…this pandemic has been a tipping point for many industries to rethink their business models and rethink digital. Business and consumer behaviors have dramatically changed. I know mine have, and I'm probably not going to go back to the old way. We all need to rethink how we're going to move forward into a different era of insurance, specifically as an industry, given the dramatic changes and behavioral changes and expectations that customers have now.
