Ears had enough yet? We didn’t think so!
It’s Day #3 of our Climate Week NYC interview series, and today we have something for all the finance- and tech-heads among you.
In this episode, Louie sits down with Michael (Mike) Gulla, CEO and Co-Founder of Adaptive Insurance, to discuss how his company is bringing power outage insurance payouts to small businesses — fast.
Mike shares his insights from two decades in the insurance industry and explains why grid reliability is rapidly becoming a first-order financial risk for businesses. He also unpacks the explosion of interest in distributed energy, and why it reflects a fortress mentality among large companies eager to stay online no matter the weather.
Along the way, he makes the case for why parametric insurance isn’t just a financial product, but a critical safety net amidst ongoing failures to harden our infrastructure for a climate-adjusted world.
If you're interested in how technology is shaping the future of climate risk insurance, this episode’s for you.
