Tony chats with Julianna Muir, Founder & CEO at Vellum Insurance, they are a data and analytics platform purpose-built for the insurance industry, specifically for insurance and reinsurance companies who receive bordereaus.

This allows their clients to go from a reactive position to more of a proactive portfolio management relationship with their partners.
