LexisNexis is perfectly placed to meet this demand given our experience injecting data at the point of application, quote and renewal. This will be a natural extension of our existing services, helping to ensure the market is able to call on our powerful data insights throughout the insurance continuum. Kajal not only has the perfect blend of skills and experience for this new role, she brings a keen interest and passion in identifying and implementing innovative ways to leverage technology across the claims and insurance value chain.
