Extreme weather disasters, such as floods, tropical storms and wildfires, are becoming more frequent and more intense. These disasters threaten both life and livelihood, causing the loss of homes and jobs that can scar the lives of those affected. Disaster insurance, by providing funds for reconstruction, plays an essential role in limiting these consequences of disaster. Yet, disaster insurance is under threat in many contexts, becoming unaffordable or being withdrawn entirely. In response, many countries have established ‘protection gap entities' (PGEs); public-private schemes to keep disaster insurance available. PGEs rebalance the tensions (paradoxes) at the heart of insurance about who controls the insurance market, how much is known about disaster risk, and who should pay for protection. Drawing from our new book examining 17 PGEs operating in 49 countries around the world, I will explain why PGEs are vital in adapting to an increasingly disaster-prone world.

Her research interests include non-bank financial intermediation, climate-related risks to financial stability and sustainable finance.

“We're trying to highlight how flood is happening continuously. Since 1996, 99% of the Counties in the US have seen flood in them”, says Cyrena. “It's not an if, but more of a when question. We're trying to help people understand that 40% of the floods that happen in this country don't happen in a flood zone.”Cyrena shares her journey from meteorologist and stormchaser to CMO at flood insurtech, reThought Insurance, and the approach they are taking to close the protection gap, as a non-direct to consumer business. “It's my responsibility to provide as much information as we can to the agents, brokers and wholesalers we work with, to educate and empower them that this is so critical. They are the key to helping us fix this.”Cyrena discusses being founded as a remote-first business 6 years ago, the three strands of the business – Commercial, Residential and Specialty – and her passion for seeing a business grow. “I have developed a love and passion for people and for work culture. Culture isn't like swings hanging in your office somewhere. It's how an organization communicates internally and externally.”She emphasizes how reThought are building a team, passionate about the mission & vision of the business and the initiatives they are putting in place to engage and maintain talent. “You have to realize that the enthusiasm of your customers and the people that you're working with out in the market are never going to exceed that of the people within your organization.”Cyrena discusses the importance of communicating and setting expectations, tips for senior leaders coming to interview and the best way to find out what a candidate is really like. “Take them out for dinner, mess up their order on purpose, then you're going to see someone's true colors. You're going to find out who somebody really is.“She shares the tech tools the team are using to build a high performing team and the one lesson her job has taught her that everyone else should know. “Love what you do and you'll never spend a day at work. You may have to dig and find that.”Connect with Cyrena-Marie Arnold on LinkedIn, mail flood@rethoughtinsurance.com or find out more reThought InsuranceThe Insurance Coffee House Podcast is hosted by Nick Hoadley, CEO, Insurance Search, the Executive Search Consultancy for growing Insurance and Insurtech businesses around the globe.To discuss identifying & attracting the very best talent to your team or being a podcast guest, reach out to Nick via nick.hoadley@insurance-search.com Copyright Insurance Search 2023 – All Rights Reserved.

“People work across multiple platforms. The nature of their relationship with work and the providers of work has changed”, says Benjamin. The former lawyer and director of strategy & operations at Virgin Unite has taken his passion for social impact and co-founded Collective Benefits. The business has developed a range of financial and digital products to help solve the problem of financial wellness for independent workers, partnering with some of the largest & most forward-thinking on demand platforms, to serve 200,000 freelancers and gig workers across 18 countries.  Whether it's sickness, accident, injuries, independent workers have known risks. “The best way to solve a known risk is to underwrite it”, says Benjamin, “So insurance was a fantastic product for us to start with.” Benjamin talks about underwriting and reaching a new demographic, working in a different way as well as clarifying how the benefits work for people who work across multiple platforms and have multiple jobs. As a fast-paced growth business, Collective is looking for purpose-driven missionaries who want to make a social impact. “There is a huge opportunity to fix the protection gap in financial wellness for a rapidly growing and significant demographic.” Connect with Benjamin on https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-hay-a422844a/ (LinkedIn) or find out more about https://www.collectivebenefits.com/ (Collective Benefits).

Episode 416: We've seen a new standard in flood frequency and severity in the US.

nsurance for digital companies is not exactly new. However, in many ways, there's a “protection gap” within the digital economy. Web outages, cyber-attacks, and other connectivity issues are some of the biggest threats facing online businesses, especially eCommerce stores.Recent high-profile outages such as Akamai and Fastly show a harsh reality – that even the global retail giants aren't safe from connectivity issues. Across the world, this is a multi-billion-dollar issue, so what can we do?Insurtech firm, Riskwolf is trying to close that billion-dollar gap by providing protection for digital platforms around the world.In this episode of Disruption Talks, Co-Founder and CTO of Riskwolf, René Alexander Papesch, tells us more about it. Hosted by Filip Sobiecki.

Since 2007, the number of private-rented households has grown by 60% as house prices have soared but incomes stagnated following the financial crisis.This growing cohort of renters has become known as 'Generation Rent', but what does this mean for the protection market?Homeowners across the UK are already underprotected and renters even more so, but since protection is traditionally sold at the point of a house purchase, what does the decline of home-ownership mean for consumers, brokers and insurers?This week, FTAdviser deputy features editor Ima Jackson-Obot discusses this, and how the protection gap for renters can be closed.Joining her to discuss this are Abi Greenhalgh, director at Nest Financial Services, and Andy Walton, protection proposition director at the Mortgage Advice Bureau.The FTAdviser Podcast is the weekly podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser.

The majority of bankruptcies in the US are due predominantly to medical bills. Even with health insurance many of us are one bad event away from financial hardship. In this episode, I spoke with Veer Gidwaney, Mike Zarillo (of Brella) and Scott Grandmont (of RGAX) about the critical importance of supplemental health insurance. We discussed how SHI can smooth out the financial costs of medical situations and emergencies. Deductibles, overlimit costs, and extra expenses make medical emergencies a financial nightmare...EVEN IF YOU HAVE TRADITIONAL MEDICAL INSURANCE!

For many reasons, catastrophe insurance is very expensive. Aside from being bad for the property owner, this is a horrible outcome for communities as society as one of the easiest quantifiable benefits of a robust insurance market, is that the market mechanism helps communities bounce back from natural catastrophes. Enter Kate Stillwell and Jumpstart.Jumpstart looks to provide first-dollar catastrophe and extra expense (think no property damage, but perhaps your local school is closed and you need to hire help for your children). Jumpstart has started with earthquake coverage in California (where only about 12% of homeowners have coverage). Cleverly using parametric triggers (requires only lots of ground-shaking and not property damage to pay out), Jumpstart can provide a financial jumpstart to policyholders in about 48 hours. Necessary cash during potentially chaotic times. We discussed this and a very unique distribution mechanism of adding Jumpstart coverage to corporate benefits packages.Connect: Kate Stillwell (LinkedIn) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stillwellkate/Jumpstart (Homepage) - https://www.jumpstartrecovery.com/Musical Credits:Shadows by David Cutter Music: https://davidcuttermusic.comhttps://soundcloud.com/dcuttermusicFree Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/shadows-david-cutterMusic promoted by Audio Library: https://youtu.be/qiBHOiEl9EIVideo Credits: Intro Stock Footage by Videvo

MPAF67 – Ian McKenna on Product Comparisons, Advice and First Class versus Economy With so many high quality and complex protection products out there identifying "the best" is difficult. And what does "the best" even mean? In this episode I talk to Ian McKenna about product comparisons and advice. He argues that we've fallen into a trap believing "First Class" is best.
