As the credit insurance industry marks its centenary, the sector is looking ahead to a period shaped by rapid change, new technologies and evolving risks. In this TTP podcast, Treasury Editor Eleanor Hill speaks with Andreas Tesch, Chief Risk Officer at Atradius, about how credit insurers can continue to support businesses as the risk landscape becomes more complex. Drawing on his 25 years in the industry, Tesch reflects on how the sector has evolved and why its role as a trusted partner in risk mitigation remains as important as ever.

The conversation explores the growing role of AI, the importance of stronger connectivity between insurers and their clients, and the need for robust data management and security. Tesch also discusses the impact of regulation and why technology should support rather than replace human judgement. As credit insurance becomes increasingly digital, the industry will need a balance of technical expertise and strong relationships to navigate what lies ahead.
