Try to think about any day in New York: the apartment where you wake up, the metro that takes you to the office, the restaurant where you have lunch, the flight you will book to return to Italy at Christmas. Behind each of these things there is a policy, a subscriber who has assessed a risk, a reassurance that has distributed it on global markets, someone ready to manage a left when things go wrong. Yet, when it comes to careers, innovation or finance, insurance remains almost always out of conversation.
It is from this contradiction that arises “The Industry Behind Everything: Insurance and the Talent Shaping Its Future”, the meeting promoted by the Bocconi Alumni community in New York in collaboration with ClaimSorted, scheduled on Wednesday 18 November at the Aon offices in One Liberty Plaza (165 Broadway), in the heart of Lower Manhattan.
“Who works in insurance knows the scene well: at a dinner, someone asks you what work you do and, as soon as you answer, the conversation changes the subject”, says Mauro Di Buono, VP of ClaimSorted and member of the Leadership team of Bocconi Alumni Boston, among the organizers of the evening. “It’s actually an infrastructure on which everything rests: without insurance you don’t build a skyscraper, not start a startup, you don’t launch a new technology. And managing a left means, very simply, taking care of people at the moment they need it more”.
The aim of the evening is precisely this: to explain the sector in a simple way, without technicalisms, to those who do not work there. What a broker does, what distinguishes a company from a reassurance, who are MGA and TPA, and how all these actors fit into a value chain that, overall, moves thousands of billion dollars.
To lead the conversation will be Veronica Judice of Aon, who will moderate a comparison with Pietro Ottombrini (Swiss Re Corporate Solutions), Marek Krowka (Aviva), Lea Dahan (AXA XL) and Mauro Di Buono (ClaimSorted). Different perspectives (brokerage, reinsurance, company, management of sinisters and InsurTech) to offer a complete picture of the ecosystem.
The themes on the table:
Dalla Bocconi alle assicurazioni: i percorsi, spesso inaspettati, che hanno portato i panelist nel settore, e cosa dell’esperienza bocconiana si è rivelato più utile.
Le assicurazioni come infrastruttura: il ruolo del rischio dietro ogni impresa, ogni immobile e ogni tecnologia emergente.
Il nodo del talento: perché il settore fatica ad attrarre giovani, chi ci si trova davvero bene e perché c’è sempre più spazio per profili non tradizionali, da matematica e ingegneria fino a legge e tecnologia.
AI, dati e futuro del lavoro: come l’intelligenza artificiale sta già cambiando sottoscrizione, brokeraggio e gestione dei sinistri.
The insurance sector lives a profound transformation phase. Climate risk, cyber and new technologies are redesigning traditional models, while an important part of the workforce approaches retirement. The result is a growing demand for new skills, especially in data, technology and risk management, in the face of an offer of talents that does not keep pace.
“The Bocconi community in New York has about two thousand people and is very strong in finance, consulting, fashion and food,” says Di Buono. “Insurances are little represented, but for this there is a huge opportunity. Many of the people who work in the industry today have come almost by chance. We want the next generation to come by choice. ”
The meeting is designed for alumni and Bocconi students, but it is open to anyone who is curious to better understand the sector: who is evaluating a career change, who has a quantitative or technological background, who works in adjoining sectors such as legal, investment or consulting. After the panel, a session of questions and answers and a networking aperitif.
The New York evening follows the Boston twin appointment, Thursday 12 November in the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (500 Boylston Street) with the participation of Liberty Mutual: a double event that confirms the will of the Bocconi community in the United States to build bridges between universities, professionals and industry.
