There's a lot of very cool technologies

at a conference like Digital Future of Insurance.

But in order for those technologies to be effective,

they've got to have the proper infrastructure behind them.

There's been a lot of innovation in our space

that has forced us to change the way that we

operate as a business.

So we feel like we can offer a lot of guidance here.

I think it'll be very exciting to see how our 5G

technology impacts the insurance industry,

I think with drone technology and more access to data.

The "aha" moment for me, the shareable economy

and how the millennials are really

changing the way insurance companies package

their products and services, modernizing their core systems

to really be able to react and respond.

We know that change is difficult,

especially in an industry with so much regulation,

with so much red tape.

But the amount of enthusiasm at these meetings, the amount

of questions people were asking make you

really excited for the future.

Digital ad agency Droga5 looks to get out of WME deal - Duration: 2:13.

 Creative agency Droga5 is looking for a new dance partner, The Post has learned

 The New York digital ad agency, which sold 49 percent of itself to WME in 2013, has grown unhappy with the marriage and is looking for suitors to buy out the talent agency, sources familiar with the situation said

 "It's not working out," one source said.  Although there's no word on where Droga5 is looking, sources have pointed to Accenture, the global consulting giant, which has been on a buying spree

 A spokesman for Droga5 denied that the company is unhappy with WME or is looking for an investor

 The boutique agency, which has been called one of the better small creative shops in the business, has worked with blue-chip clients such as Google, Chase and Under Armour

One recent campaign, for IHOP — where the pancake shop teased a name change to IHOb — drew mixed reviews

 Droga5 has also felt the pain of cutbacks.  In February, the company slashed 5 percent of its payroll — or about 40 jobs, the first cuts in its 12-year history

 The cuts were a bit steeper than the norm for the ad industry, sources said.
