It’s the end of 2019, an auspicious year for insurance and InsurTech, and it’s the end of the year with expectations in the business world for business results and (hopeful) bonuses. And of course there is the wondrous shadow of December holidays over all, with visions of sugarplums dancing in heads.
Not everyone celebrates a Christmas holiday, Chanukah, or Eid, but one cannot avoid the end of year holiday gifting and hopes.
In keeping with that spirit this final InsurTech column for 2019 wishes all well for the season and bright things for 2020.
