Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Natural disasters and environmental catastrophes are on the rise, as is the demand for tools to track and assess their damage. Karen Clark & Company (KCC) solves these issues by providing insurers with a catastrophe damage modelling platform.
KCC was founded by the team behind AIR Worldwide, the world's first catastrophe modelling company. Compared to AIR, KCC is focused on offering insurers more consistent, transparent and flexible modelling tools. Since its founding, the company has worked with insurers during catastrophes such as Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ida.
KCC's forward-facing approach has allowed it to outpace more traditional catastrophe modelling options. However, the company will need to work hard to maintain this lead and continue to deliver cutting-edge modelling solutions to its clients.
