The insurance and reinsurance industry has a pivotal role to play in developing its future leaders to meet the unique demands and challenges presented by today’s increasingly complex global environment, as highlighted at the Marsh McLennan Rising Professionals’ Global Forum.
John Doyle, President and CEO of Marsh McLennan, underscored the growing client demand for enhanced agility and resilience amidst the current geopolitical and economic situations, alongside rising concerns surrounding climate, technology, and social risks.
Therefore, the re/insurance industry must play a crucial role in fostering resilience in this new era of heightened risk.
In response, it is more vital than ever for the industry to intensify its focus on expanding, developing, and diversifying its talent base to remain relevant to clients in an increasingly volatile risk environment.
Vicky Carter, Chairman of Global Capital Solutions, International at reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter, echoes this sentiment, stating, “To meet the challenge, our industry will require a workforce with the talent and skill sets needed for these unique demands.”
She emphasises, “We must inspire the next generation to challenge the status quo and adopt pioneering approaches to risk transfer so the re/insurance industry continues to transform uncertainty into opportunity.”
