Droege
Director of Innovation + Digital Risk Practice
IMA Financial
My emails say I'm the Director of Innovation + Strategy for IMA Financial.
But, what does that mean? The answer is different every day. I work with IMA's Technology, Life Science and Advanced Manufacturing practice groups to optimize our team across all locations and partners - helping the team access resources, IP, market intelligence and helping to bring value to our clients in the space.
I also work with IMA's insurtech strategy and investments, including our partnership with BrokerTech Ventures. Having worked both in the technology industry and the insurance industry, I like to think I "get" insurtech better than most.
I'm also helping to bring new partners into the IMA family. Firms that recognize their own culture in ours that want to remain independent, employee-owned and managed, and have access to industry-leading tools and talent - we should talk.
In business, I am a believer in the Infinite Mindset. The status quo is an existential threat for all organizations. The truly innovative companies of the world understand that short term gains at the expense of the long term is not a winnable strategy. So, by all means, ask me to break something so I can help rebuild it bigger, better and stronger.
