In this Spotlight on Women Leaders at ITC Vegas, we catch up with Renu Ann Joseph and Bobbie Shrivastav to discuss their new book Momentum, an empowering exploration of female founders in insurtech. Launched at this year’s event, Momentum brings readers into the world of the makers and builders, amplifying diverse voices and stories that are shaping the industry’s future.

During the interview, Bobbie emphasises that a strong organisational culture is essential for creating and sustaining momentum, especially as the industry shifts from being tech-enabled to truly people-enabled. She stresses the importance of placing the right people in the right roles to turn a great product into a well-executed vision. Through this perspective, Bobbie encourages women in insurtech to build robust networks and take bold steps, knowing that culture and community are essential accelerators of growth.

Renu shares insights from Momentum on the journey of female founders who are carving their paths in the insurtech space. Highlighting each founder’s “why” and the creativity behind their solutions, Renu brings attention to the blend of short-term achievements and long-term vision that drives success. She speaks to the power of leveraging small wins to build momentum, emphasising the courage it takes to move forward in a male-dominated field. Renu encourages aspiring women leaders to take leaps of faith, reassured that a supportive community stands ready to help them succeed.

Through Momentum, Renu and Bobbie bring to light the transformative power of women-led innovation in insurtech, inspiring the next wave of leaders to shape a bold future for the industry.
