Tetiana George
Co-Chair / CEO
Insurtech Australia / Curium
Tetiana George is Co-Chair of Insurtech Australia, the not-for-profit industry association representing over 100 insurtech members and more than 50 corporate partners across the insurance ecosystem. In this role, she works closely with startups, insurers, regulators and investors to accelerate innovation and strengthen Australia’s position as a global insurtech hub.
She is also the CEO & Co-Founder of Curium, an Australian-born insurtech transforming how insurers, MGAs and brokers manage compliance and claims through structured data and AI.
With a background in global strategy consulting across 20+ countries, Tetiana has built Curium into one of Australia’s fastest-growing compliance technology platforms, helping insurance businesses move from reactive red tape to proactive, embedded risk intelligence.
She also serves on ASIC’s Digital Finance Advisory Panel, contributing to national conversations on regulation, technology and the future of financial services.
At the Black Swan Summit, Tetiana will share practical insights into what separates hype from real insurtech value — and how technology can genuinely improve customer outcomes, regulatory confidence, and operational performance.

About this session
The “next economy” is already here (but not evenly distributed) with AI in everyday services, new digital markets through tokenisation, quantum-driven security upgrades, and green infrastructure powering modern compute. But not all growth stories are sustainable, and bubbles do happen (is AI due for a reset? Is Quantum finally ready?). That leaves a simple question for everyone—from mums and dads, VCs and family offices to Australia’s super funds:
What does this mean for savings, wealth, retirement and the kind of economy we’re building?
This roundtable brings together investors, technologists and researchers, regulators and practitioners to separate durable value from hype, and to define what high-return, responsible investing looks like under real uncertainty.
We also ask the hard questions: if some jobs disappear or shift, how do large funds still deliver for members and the broader economy—not just short-term winners? -
