In this special episode of the REIT Report, part of an ongoing series, “Building Resilience,” covering issues facing the REIT industry as it remains focused on investing for the long term, Daniel Kaniewski, Managing Director, Public Sector at Marsh McLennan, joins Nareit's Jessica Long, Senior Vice President of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, to discuss how his experience as the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) first deputy administrator for resilience has led to his current focus advancing resilience investment in the private sector.“During Hurricane Katrina, I was at the White House and saw the mass devastation, and I said, shouldn't we be doing something ahead of time to reduce these disaster losses Americans will almost inevitably face. What I found was there was a small but growing interest in an area called disaster resilience.”Currently, Kaniewski chairs the finance, insurance, and real estate committee at the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), a congressionally chartered nonprofit. He shares how he first got to know NIBS through their 2005 Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves study, which showed that every dollar the federal government invested in hazard mitigation saved four dollars. Then in 2017, “on the heels of hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria,” Kaniewski asked NIBS for the bottom line of a forthcoming updated Mitigation Saves study. “They shared that savings were actually, six to one. The updated report found that others benefited from these mitigation investments beyond the federal government. Communities that can continue to function after a disaster will save money, not just to the homeowner or the federal government, but to everyone in that community who would otherwise have to take the time to help those with the losses. Recovery costs were greatly reduced by those hazard mitigation investments.”

In this episode of Power Producers, David Carothers is joined by Madison Baker, Vice President at Marsh McLennan, to discuss her unique journey in the insurance industry, the power of building a personal brand, and the challenges and advantages of being a female producer in a traditionally male-dominated field. Madison shares her story of entering the insurance world through a path that was anything but traditional, finding her passion for risk management and production at an early stage. She talks about the critical role that LinkedIn has played in establishing her as an authority and how she's used social media to build authentic connections and trust with clients and prospects.

She discusses how standing out as an individual producer can lead to better opportunities, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling career.

Success Through Persistence and the Right Strategy Madison explains how she went from a property broker to a successful producer by honing her skills in client-facing roles, solving problems, and offering value. She reflects on how finding the right client profile and developing long-term relationships are more important than transactional sales tactics, stressing that producers need to be patient and strategic in their approach.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Carolina Klint, Managing Director and chief commercial officer for Continental Europe at Marsh McLennan, who shares her views on the latest WEF report and its implications for businesses and insurers worldwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS My goal with speaking about and promoting the Report is where the topics of risk and resilience belong, which is on the agenda of world leaders, decision makers, executives, board members. The business world is so complex and difficult to navigate and we have an environment now where risks are not only interconnected but they are also layered. So, the Global Risk Report is a great place to start trying to make sense of this. When a company looks at the risks that have the potential to impact or execute on strategies it’s so difficult to get it right: You’re going to go through your risks and scenario planning to pull together an ambitious risk register. Most companies have good processes for this, but in the current environment it’s very rare to pick and prepare for the risks that are going to be the ones that will hit you. Aby working on a culture of risk awareness and resilience, by working on taking a holistic view, connection the dots between people, risk and strategy, companies that do that have a much better opportunity to deal with whatever ends up hitting them. If you have a culture and awareness, and if you empower your leaders and employees to manage through when something hits, it’s going to become a much better outcome for you regards of the risks. We need to not just look at what’s in front of us, but look at the long term perspective. Human beings are wired to focus on what’s in front of us and it’s easy to forget the long-term horizon. This is where the Global Risk Report is so helpful because it looks at the perception of current risks, the 2-year and 10-year risk horizons. BEST MOMENTS ‘We look at how we can bring more value and become more relevant to our clients by connecting people, risk, and strategy – and the WEF Global Risk Report speaks directly to that.’ ‘The business environment is very difficult to navigate, and it’s only through collaboration and looking at the business holistically that you can achieve a long term sustainable business model.’ ‘For anyone in risk and resilience, when the Global Risk Report comes out it’s like Christmas Day as a 5-year-old!’ ‘Everyone’s got a plan until you get punched in the face – that’s exactly the way it is in the current environment.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Carolina Klint is a recognized expert in global risk management and a key contributor to thought leadership initiatives, including the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report. As a Managing Director and Risk Management Leader for Continental Europe at Marsh, she works with clients across industries to anticipate, quantify, and navigate emerging threats—ranging from geopolitical and environmental disruptions to the rapid evolution of technology.

La ventesima edizione del Global Risks Report del World Economic Forum, appena pubblicata, rivela un panorama globale sempre più frammentato, in cui le crescenti sfide geopolitiche, ambientali, sociali e tecnologiche minacciano la stabilità e il progresso. Sebbene i rischi economici abbiano un rilievo meno immediato nei risultati dell'indagine di quest'anno, rimangono una preoccupazione, interconnessa con le tensioni sociali e geopolitiche. Conflitti armati, disinformazione e rischi ambientali spiccano tra le minacce principali. Con Luca De Biasi - AD Mercer Italia SIM (business di Marsh McLennan) - facciamo il punto sugli elementi più rilevanti.Il 2025 è partito con molto nervosismo per i mercati. Il tema di maggiore interesse è - anche quest’anno a quanto sembra - la prospettiva sui tassi che le banche centrali taglieranno ma senza fretta: è quasi certo che la prossima sforbiciata americana non arriverà prima di settembre. Ovviamente abbiamo la grande incognita Donald Trump: sembra certo che arriveranno interventi sui dazi ma lui ha detto che li applicherà, anche in modo importante, ma solo su alcuni settori. Con Maria Paola Toschi - Global Market Strategist di J.P. Morgan Asset Management analizziamo i trend emergenti per l'anno che è appena iniziato.

Dive into the overlap of climate change, insurance and community interests. How does the frequency and ferocity of disastrous natural events makes its way into our daily lives, even if we live hundreds of miles inland? More and more often we are finding communities in such situations that five, ten years ago, would have seemed unthinkable. The way we are calculating climate change, addressing and transferring the risks associated with how our natural world is moving forward is a mix of math, science and, maybe even in the art of communicating those changes. Our guest, Francis Bouchard of Marsh McLennan leans into these topics in the latest. This episode was edited by Adam Linder of Bespoken Podcasting.

Daniel Kaniewski is the Managing Director at Marsh McLennan and an American government official who served as the acting deputy administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He also served as the deputy administrator of FEMA for Resilience. In this episode, Daniel recalls the impact that 9/11 had on his personal and professional life and how it strengthened his resolve to increase the country's preparation for catastrophic events. He shares the hurdles he has faced along the way, the role of luck and risk in every step of his career, and highlights the opportunities that response readiness and resilience have to offer young professionals today.   Key Takeaways: Daniel highlights his role at Marsh and reveals his disaster resilience guru status. Daniel's unusual pathway into risk management started with a volunteer firefighter paramedic who wanted to figure out how to reduce losses in the first place. After maxing out his EMT certifications and education, Daniel turned to a Ph.D. in public policy. An internship on Capitol Hill led Daniel to support the Gilmore Commission, where he worked to increase first responders' preparation for terrorist attacks. In a post-9/11 world, policymaker interest has shifted dramatically in favor of proactive training against acts of terrorism. The personal and professional impact of 9/11 on Daniel's life and work. Watching the Pentagon take fire from the Capitol Building was a surreal moment, especially after learning that the Capitol Building was the likely target of Flight 93. Daniel's “why” in the years following 9/11 only strengthened his resolve to continue the work he had been doing in the years prior. Hurricane Katrina swung the pendulum from terrorism directly to natural disaster relief. Federal departments and missions continue with their work, regardless of presidential administration changes, but their focus may change with each new president. Every dollar invested in disaster mitigation saves $13 in physical and economic costs should a disaster occur. Daniel was willing to help set up FEMA, as long as he was able to maintain a focus on disaster resilience. Local and national governments informing the public about key catastrophic exposure is critical for gaining support for investments in response readiness. What prompted Daniel's shift from the public sector over to Marsh? Daniel recalls the professional relationships that have enabled him to take the risks that have made his career so fulfilling. Response readiness and resilience are top of mind across the country, and have a place for you!   Mentioned in This Episode: Daniel on LinkedIn Marsh McLennan

Join us on a lively journey where personal anecdotes meet industry insights, starting with Nick's adventurous 10th wedding anniversary trip to Utah. Despite a few health hiccups, the trip was a backdrop to some hilarious comparisons with our friend Zach Freeman, who we jokingly crown as the king of caregiving. Our conversation sips into a spirited tasting session of Unanime, an Argentinian wine, where we explore its rich flavors and humorously debate whether toast is indeed a flavor note. Our camaraderie and curiosity create a blend that's as engaging as it is entertaining. As the episode rolls on, we dive into the seismic waves of the insurance world with Marsh-McLennan's $7.75 billion acquisition of McGriff. It's an elephantine deal that has everyone talking, and we break it down with the help of a delightful metaphor involving Bertie Bott's jelly beans—some flavors you crave, and others you'd rather skip. This conversation leads us to ponder the future of personal auto insurance in the era of autonomous vehicles, challenging the notion that it's headed for extinction. Instead, we foresee an evolution that will redefine the industry landscape. Our latest episode wraps up with tales from the vibrant Wholesale Specialty Insurance Association (WSIA) conference in San Diego.

Hear from two leading experts, as we explore how insurance is adapting to climate change and the role of the industry beyond underwriting. Insurance plays a critical role in protecting households and businesses from the impacts of climate change, and with physical risks on the rise, it will become ever more important. However, insurers have also been significantly impacted by these risks, with annual losses from natural catastrophes exceeding 100 billion dollars for four consecutive years. The primary concern is that these physical risks eventually become uninsurable, as we are already seeing for example with wildfires in California, leaving communities without the very protection that they most need. In this episode, we explore how the insurance industry has and should respond to these challenges, including: How insurance modelling must evolve to better capture the physical risks from climate change; The role of insurers in helping clients and policymakers understand and prepare for physical climate risks; and Why adaptation is now a top priority for allowing insurance to be effective and help spread climate resilience across our society and economy.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Brian McDermott, Chief Information Officer at Victor Insurance. This podcast will be a little bit different. As Steven Abel is going to join us to highlight the value of the Oliver Wyman relationship with Victor Insurance, as a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan. Indeed, in the complex world of business, speed to value when delivering technology is critical & Victor Insurance has found a critical partner in delivering tech among others with the Oliver Wyman team. KEY TAKEAWAYS An MGA is a company appointed by the insurer, typically the carrier, to exercise supervision & oversight on specific & targeted insurance programmes. We do everything an insurance company does but we don't source the capital, the carrier is the source of capital for us, they manage the risk in terms of the capital. We underwrite the risk on behalf of others & we do a lot of the administration on behalf of the carrier, claims processing, servicing, transaction  processing, connecting with the broker, handling of insurance fees & processing of any financial aspects. We operate in 8 countries. The majority of the revenues & premiums derive from the US, around 80% left-side of the globe, 20% right-side. But, we do see immense opportunity on the right-side of the globe because it's an untapped opportunity in territories with products & service offerings that we can provide. That's a key strategic focus as we proceed. Typically, InsurTechs' challenges include having great product but limited premium running through the platform because of the leverage they have with their carriers to bring those products onto the platform.  We differ from Marsh McLennan in that we're a full, front to back insurance company: We do placement of products through our digital portal experiences, policy servicing, claims processing, data reporting & analytics, & underwriting. Marsh McLennan are a re-insurance broker, they don't typically do underwriting. Our technology environments differ in that they're built for different scale – we're low premium, high volume, March McLennan operate in a different market segment; enterprise, high-end businesses, we operate in small/micro market. We have to build scalable, fast products whereas Marsh is more of a heavy touch relationship-based business with their clients. So it's difficult to align with them completely but there are a number of areas around complimentary services. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're trying to become the Amazon for brokers in the small, commercial & speciality marketplace.' ‘One of the key challenges I have is to make sure that we can modernise while we integrate as we go on our journey towards the future.' ‘We sit in the middle of the value chain with the broker on the left hand side, supporting the insured, & the carrier on the right, they provide the capital to us.' ‘We need to make sure that we harvest the data insights that we have: historical claims & underwriting data - & augment it with tools like machine learning, AI, data ingestion & enrichment.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Brian McDermott is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Victor Insurance, a leading global provider of specialty insurance programs & a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan. Brian brings a wealth of experience to his role, with a career spanning more than 30 years in diverse industries such as retail, insurance, finance, & government. Known for his disruptive thinking and innovation within the IT field, Brian is constantly exploring new ways to leverage contemporary technology & drive digital transformation within the insurance industry. In his role as CIO, Brian is keen to embrace modern technologies & help drive the agenda within the broader Marsh McLennan corporation. His unique perspective, stemming from Victor Insurance's position as a high-volume, highly transacting business, enables him to provide valuable input on the digital connection between the market & the brokers & clients they work with. As a partner at Oliver Wyman, Steven helps clients solve complex problems & lead teams to deliver insights that you can trust. Steve acquired over 25 years of experience in consulting & executive roles, delivering value to organizations via smart technological deployment. Steve's specialties include program management, operations, shared services, enabling technologies, business process reengineering, finance leading practices, insurance products & data, actuarial platforms, machine learning, AI, cloud solutions, business & technical architecture.  Steve is passionate about helping clients achieve their strategic goals & optimize their performance, while fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, & excellence. LinkedIn Oliver Wyman ABOUT THE HOST There are over 140,000 FinTech ventures out there, including FinTechs, InsurTechs, HealthTechs, and WealthTechs. And the number keeps on changing every month. One statistic remains the same: 25% of these ventures have received investment and support from the financing world. 75% of these businesses still seek financing support from institutional and corporate investors alongside value-creating commercial collaboration opportunities with Global Fortune 500.  Through this podcast series, I would like to demystify the world of corporate venturing, including how corporations collaborate with growth ventures, how venture capitalists and corporate venture capitalists make investment and collaboration choices in ventures and give tech founders and entrepreneurs, the strategies, tactics, tools, and techniques to build, grow and scale their business by understanding how those with financing power think. So, listen in, share and comment as you see fit.

To celebrate Women's History Month, we've relaunched our ‘Women in Leadership' series of the ESG Insider podcast. Over the coming months, we'll speak with women CEOs and leaders from across industries and around the world.    In today's episode, we talk with Martine Ferland, CEO of global consulting firm Mercer, which is a business of professional services firm Marsh McLennan.   Martine retires from her role at the end of March 2024, and in the episode she discusses her decision to step down and her approach to leadership and longevity. She also talks about empathy and economics, or the idea of bringing emotional intelligence to business decisions — and why she turned down the CEO role twice before accepting on the third offer.  Read the latest research on gender diversity in leadership from S&P Global Sustainable1 here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/women-in-leadership-what-s-the-holdup   Listen to our 2023 Women in Leadership podcast series here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/women-in-leadership   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.      Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global      DISCLAIMER      By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

“I changed the department from HR to People and culture. The term HR is a construct of an economist in the 1800s, talking about people as commodities, just like paper and pens. That's not what this is about anymore”, says Denise. “The world has changed. In order to unlock true potential of a company and its performance, you have to focus on the people, unlocking their true potential as whole individuals.”On the podcast this week, Denise shares her journey from investment banking through Silicon Valley in to insurance. “The consistent theme across my career journey is I'm a risk taker, which is interesting, given I'm in the risk business now. I always looked for additional challenge, something different, something that I could fix, launch or do differently.I left investment banking in the dotcom era and moved to Silicon Valley area and worked for 2 different start-ups. I had the experience of taking them up, expanding and then dismantling.Then through my network, I got a call from Marsh Mclennan and I took the leap. I was sucked into the insurance world. Once you're in, you're really never going to get out.”Following a Head of HR role with Voya and launching her own executive coaching business, Denise was approached by an executive search firm to meet with Fortitude Re. The business operates in the Life and Annuity and Property & Casualty business in the US, Bermuda and in Japan. She joined the team in 2022. Denise gives insight in to her role as Chief People Officer as well as overseeing marketing, communications, branding and CSR. She emphasizes the desire to create a human-centric culture and the benefits of being a smaller reinsurance company. “Human-centricity and putting people as our priority and at the center of what we do, really helps us make decisions as a business in a way that enables our people to not only bring their whole selves to work.But to focus on developing themselves across the spectrum of things that make them people. That unlocks such tremendous potential and their ability to perform at a level that you couldn't really expect otherwise.Human-centric leadership is not something that comes naturally to people who have grown up professionally over the last 20 years. But if you think about authenticity and communications and transparency, you think about empathy and understanding where people are, being adaptive and being able to flex things, it starts to make sense in terms of why that works.Because we're a smaller company, we get to focus more on development. We get to experiment.” Denise highlights the importance of finding opportunities for the team to unplug from the complexities of large reinsurance deals. “If you think about investment banking as an industry, it's very much a burn and churn type of reality. That's not a sustainable model.We're really focused on trying to create balance for our people. The work is hard but we make sure we find opportunities for people to unplug from work.”Denise talks about closing the whole business for a week in August and Fortitude Re's Ignite annual learning allowance program. “They can use it to develop themselves in any way, personally or professionally. We have people using it to go skydiving, learn a language or to get certifications that will help them professionally. It's about developing the whole person.”Highlighting the advice, she'd give to insurance leaders coming for interview, Denise says, “Be confident yet be humble. Our CEO calls it a sneaker culture. We run really fast, we're super aggressive but we like to be normal people.
