He has specific experience in implementing machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques into the insurance industry.
Michael Crawford, Associate and Head of Analytics said: “Insurers are the original practitioners of data science and advances in computer science now allow powerful statistical techniques to be applied by small teams on large datasets. It is my career experience that these advances have happened out of sight of the industry and are waiting to be discovered and put to good use. In the coming years the full application of data analytics and machine learning will be essential if companies are to create and maintain enduring competitive advantages. I am looking forward to further developing these areas in my role as Head of Analytics at Barnett Waddingham.”
