Bridging Climate Risk & Insurance with AI — Dr. Ida Sami of Lamaterra

In this Voice of Growth episode, we sit with Ida Sami, co-founder of Lamaterra (rebranded from Climate NXT), an AI-driven platform turning climate and geospatial data into actionable insurance and real-estate decisions. We cover the climate–insurance data gap (peril, exposure, vulnerability), model transparency, and how to make insights usable at the point of underwriting and investment. Ida shares lessons from rebranding, piloting with regulated buyers, and building an interdisciplinary team that lets actuaries, scientists, engineers, and city planners read the same map.  You’ll learn:  How AI translates climate risk into pricing, coverage, and capital allocation  Why explainability + audit trails win trust in regulated markets  A practical GTM: pilots, evidence, and value at the workflow level  Founder mindset: navigating long sales cycles and complex stakeholders  Who it’s for: insurers, MGAs, reinsurers, real-estate developers/investors, and public-sector resilience leaders.  CTA: Subscribe to Voice of Growth.
