Beyond Boundaries | Partnerships, Product, Progress Chaucer’s Innovation Playbook

In this new Beyond Boundaries episode, Matt Ferguson, Managing Partner at Sønr, speaks with Iryna Chekanava, Senior Innovation Underwriter at Chaucer. The conversation explores how innovation works in practice and Chaucer approaches innovation through partnerships, product creation and the testing of future profit pools. Iryna shares what Chaucer looks for in an insurtech or startup partner, from strategic fit and strong teams to useful data, technology, market access and a clear understanding of the customer problem. She also discusses why insurance innovation needs more than a pitch deck, why timelines and regulatory complexity need to be understood early, and why underwriting expertise becomes critical as new products move towards market. From future risk areas such as AI liability, carbon credits, trade secrets and energy transition to the shift from “less talking, more doing”, this is a practical look at how innovation moves from opportunity to execution.
