Caroline "Caz" Taylor on Neurodiversity, Hustle, and Building From the Ground Up

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: We Are InsurTech Women

This week Charlotte Gregory is joined by Caroline "Caz" Taylor, Chief Insurance and Delegated Authority Officer at Crux Underwriting — whose route into the C-suite ran through claims, law, startups and two boardrooms, and who only recently discovered why she's always worked that way.

In this conversation, Caz shares:

✅ The accidental interview that changed everything — including the ultimatum from a colleague that got her through the door

✅ How growing up in a socially disadvantaged household shaped the hustle and resilience she still relies on today

✅ Why her ADHD, dyslexic, autistic "3D brain" thrives in cross-functional, ground-up roles — and struggles in a narrow one

✅ Why claims is one of the best entry points into a career in insurance

✅ Her views on AI in recruitment, and how rigid screening criteria can quietly filter out brilliant people

It's a conversation about turning a non-traditional background into a superpower, why insurance needs more people who think differently, and what leaders should really be asking about diversity, equity and hiring.
