AI-native broker Meshed’s mission is to eradicate the ‘blight’ of underinsurance
Mark Costello, CEO of artificial intelligence insurance broker Meshed, looks to tackle underinsurance by integrating AI with customers’ back offices, and to improve the sector’s reputation through speed, transparency and a flat 10% commission rate.
