Manulife CMO Karen Leggett discusses practical steps Manulife is taking to integrate Gen AI into its operations, from the sales process, through underwriting, and to enhance productivity across teams.

In this episode of Life Accelerated, we’re joined by Karen Leggett, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Manulife (Toronto). Karen has spearheaded transformation efforts at Manulife, including in the realms of AI, digital transformation and customer-centric strategies. From launching behavioral insurance programs to harnessing the power of Generative AI, Karen’s work is reshaping how Manulife interacts with its 35 million customers worldwide.

In our conversation, Karen reveals how Manulife is prioritizing customer experience, making data-driven decisions and equipping its workforce with the tools to innovate. We dive into the practical steps Manulife is taking to integrate Gen AI into its operations, from the sales process, through underwriting, and to enhance productivity across teams.

Karen shared some powerful insights in our discussion of how Manulife is driving digital transformation. For example, how AI isn’t just about the efficiencies of automation, but about building more personal connections with customers. We enjoyed hearing about Karen’s focus on empowering teams to use new tools and take on innovation with confidence.

Programs such as Vitality reflect Manuflife’s commitment to helping people live healthier lives. That turns out to be a starting point for a range of emerging innovations at Manulife that aim to help its policyholders live healthier lives.

These innovations are examples of how, when used astutely, technology continues to further support human activities and how it simultaneously makes a difference in customers’ lives—and on companies’ bottom lines.
