After a full day of meetings in Lima, our team was exhausted.
That morning we had met with Peru 2021 and in the afternoon we met with the
founder of "Fundacion Peru" and "Pronaturaleza". We had one
meeting that we had been trying to set up for weeks, but seemed elusive. It was
with Enrique "KB" Agois - the technologist and Internet architect at
Rimac Peru, one of the largest insurance companies in Peru.
However, at the last minute, KB moved some commitments around
and arranged to meet us for dinner. He was bringing his wife, Adriana, and we
didn't quite know what to expect.
We started dinner and learned that Adriana was a doctor herself
and we immediately struck a very familiar tone with them both. What began as a
dinner between strangers was quickly transformed into a brainstorming session
around our ideas on mobile technology, health care and change management for
patients, doctors, and insurance companies. The ideas were free flowing around
what verticals to start different services in, how data from smartphones could
be leveraged and what ideas would be viable.
KB gave us great insight into how forward looking companies like
Rimac are pushing themselves to be. He shared with us an anecdote from a
meeting where he told the senior executives "in the future, no one will
buy car insurance because there won't be accidents". We took his example
of the driverless car and applied it to how health care will work in the
future. The result was an intensely invigorating and enlightening
meeting.
