As the modern expat demographic shifts towards digital nomads, independent professionals and micro-multinationals, the industry is being forced to rethink. 

In this exclusive iPMI Global Interview, we sit down with Chris Carter, CEO of ExpatInsure, to discuss the company's growth, how it is using technology to strip the complexity out of buying cover, and why the model of the bloated corporate expat package may finally be coming to an end.
