James Lay

Commercial Director,
ModEx

James has spent the past 18 years in the technology industry, primarily engaged with developing solutions and technology strategies for the financial services sector.

Having worked for some of the largest and most diverse technology and IT service providers in the industry, James has managed portfolios of accounts in the City of London with a focus on driving business across a broad range of software and outsourced services. In 2012, this led to a project focussed on managed services aligned to catastrophe modelling with one of the major vendors in that space. James managed a technical team to deliver a proof of concept demonstrating the feasibility for core insurance applications to be managed in an outsourced environment.

More recently, as part of a product development project for Simplitium, James worked closely with a consortium of Insurtech focused businesses to build a catastrophe modelling platform that opens up the market to specialist model providers and broadens the choice of models available to the (re)insurance industry.
