NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Generali Global Corporate & Commercial (GC&C), a leading provider of multinational property, casualty, and specialty insurance and part of the global Generali Group, today announced that Bill Skapof, chief underwriting officer and head of Generali GC&C North America, has been invited to speak at the Reactions annual North American Re/Insurance Conference on September 27 in New York City. Reactions, the business intelligence publication for the global insurance market, is part of the Euromoney publishing group.
The conference will address the various strategies employed by leading insurance and reinsurance companies, while looking at the how they are utilizing the latest innovations to stay at the forefront of the industry. The ongoing trends of increased M&A activity, the rise of insurtech, the growth of alternative capital markets, and a focus on new investment opportunities and distribution channels will be key to remaining relevant in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Bill Skapof, Head of Generali Global Corporate & Commercial North America, commented on today's news, "Today's market has become increasingly more sophisticated and, as a result, has generated significant shifts in liability across the board. Too often, underwriters have been behind the curve on these shifts, learning from claims that come in, as opposed to forecasting out on potential risks."
Skapof will be part of the Property and Casualty Trends panel that will take place from 2:30 – 3:30 EST on September 27. The panel will look at issues ranging from the record-breaking losses incurred from hurricanes and wildfires in 2017 to the industry's concerns about a surge in casualty claims. The conference takes place at Cipriani 25 Broadway.
Skapof concluded, "The industry will continue to learn by taking advantage of new technologies and innovations – but as we do, we must not forget about the crucial role that human capital plays in our business. There still is no substitute for top-notch, seasoned underwriters when it comes to being able to anticipate the risks of tomorrow."
