“Today, we tend to take a compliance driven risk approach. But what we really need is risk driven compliance. So, for companies to think about what’s core, what’s most impactful to their ability to deliver value to their clients and then working from that set of security measures, investments and understanding how well you’re implementing that sort of blocking and tackling can then layer up to these different compliance frameworks.”“You know, it's all about that love for users. I even ran the customer success team for a bit. I remember going to Connecticut in the middle of a snowstorm in February. I sat down with the underwriting team to understand what slowed them down. The real gem of working in a startup is listening to your users and understanding their daily grind. It's inspiring. You come back with notebooks full of ideas. In just a few months, we'd transform their everyday lives for the better.”
