In a world where digital transformation and operational excellence are the buzzwords of the day, insurance leaders are stepping up to the plate like seasoned pros. They’re not just talking the talk; they’re walking it.
Take Alissa Ristic from KPMG. She’s leading the charge on digital insurance practices and global claims solutions. Her work is all about advising companies on how to embrace digital transformation and improve operational efficiency. That’s a fancy way of saying she helps them not drown in paperwork.
Then there’s Chris Raimondo over at EY. This guy isn’t just the Americas Insurance Consulting Leader for nothing. He’s all about strategy—business, technology, AI, data—you name it. If it has to do with insurance, he’s probably got it covered.
And, let’s not forget about Martin Spit, also at EY-Parthenon, guiding insurers through the murky waters of transformation and regulation. It’s like being a lifeguard at the beach of bureaucracy.
Gaston Messineo, another ace at EY-Parthenon, is working on organizational restructuring and risk management. Sounds boring, right? But it’s never dull when you consider how group life insurance policies often operate under different rules than individual coverage. Because if you can’t manage risk, you might as well be juggling chainsaws.
Matt Edwards from Slalom is also in the mix, steering AI-enabled underwriting and cloud migration. He’s basically the tech wizard helping insurers modernize, one cloud at a time.
Meanwhile, the New York scene is buzzing with executives like Gregory Serio, who’s shaping state insurance policy. Craig DeSanto, the new CEO of New York Life, is overseeing retail and institutional life insurance like a hawk and ensuring compliance with state regulatory frameworks. Interestingly, this year, Alliant Insurance Services/Confie topped the list of the Insurance Journal’s Top 100 Independent Property/Casualty Agencies.
And Junior Harewood from UnitedHealthcare? He’s making waves with commercial benefits, proving that health insurance can actually be exciting—well, sort of.
Now, let’s turn to the Top 100 Property/Casualty Agencies. Alliant Insurance Services/Confie snagged the top spot. HUB International and Acrisure are right behind. Who knew insurance could be competitive? But it is, and these agencies are proving it with their rankings.
Finally, let’s give a shout-out to the Hot 100 game changers. Nate Reznicek, Catherine Pipitone, and Danette Beck are among those making their mark. They’re the rock stars of insurance, influencing everything from commercial insurance to reinsurance.
In an industry often seen as dull, these leaders are anything but. They’re shaking things up, and it’s about time.
