Together, Juan and Laurent also discuss the insurance industry’s role as a key enabler of societal good and the need to shift public perception of the sector, why insurance must embrace innovation, and the challenges of leadership transitions, including the importance of knowing when to step down as part of an organisation’s evolution.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?
