Description: As the insurance industry continues to evolve due to a pandemic and rapidly changing economic and regulatory conditions, the role of data scientists and actuaries has become increasingly important.

This article explores what collaboration can look like and how the role of data science and actuary may evolve in the InsurTech industry in the future.
