In a LinkedIn post, Walsh said: “After almost five years of brilliant experiences and exciting customer journeys, launching and designing new propositions, countless podcasts, amazing support across the insurance and insurtech communities, the time has come to take my next leap.
“In an industry where we manufacture nothing but data, [there is] no point being anywhere but the undisputed industry leader. “I’m looking forward to continuing the mission to make insurance loveable, working with our global system integrators (GSI) partners, independent software vendors (ISVs) and, of course, the insurtech community to deliver on this.”
Thanking his former colleagues at Deloitte, who he said helped shaped the future of insurance, he added: “To my new colleagues at Google, there has never been a better time to enable an industry [to] drive change, making Google the number one destination for insurance transformation over the next decade.
