Matt Connolly

Matt has worked across innovation for the past 15+ years.

In his early 20s he founded a digital innovation agency which grew to become the UK’s #1. He subsequently went on to build, and invest in, a number of tech startups.

Recognising the need to help insurers better understand their changing market and capitalise on the opportunities, Matt founded Sønr.

Sønr is the world’s leading insurtech scouting and open innovation platform used insurance companies around the world including Bupa, Vitality, Allianz, Munich Re and Tokio Marine.

It tracks data on millions of companies around the world and provides intelligence on market trends, competitor playbooks and disruptive tech companies globally. And it incorporates a suite of tools to help clients better source, manage and track partnership and deal flow activity.

Matt is a regular public speaker and is particularly looking forward to getting back to the mountains where he loves to ski, board and run.
