In this episode of COVERED, Francois Jacquemin explores how AI will transform the insurance industry through integration, not disruption. He explains why insurance remains essential to economic and social stability, and how technology can strengthen rather than replace its core purpose.

Francois reflects on the opportunities AI creates to close coverage gaps, reduce waste, improve client experience, and reach those who are not insured today. This is a perspective for leaders in insurance, reinsurance, and beyond who want to understand how technology and industry can grow together.

In this episode, I explore how overprotecting your executive team can quietly erode their ability to lead at the strategic level. I share how I used to carry too much pressure alone, and how I learned to distribute it more intentionally. We discuss the distinction between operational execution and strategic contribution, and how leadership evolves when pressure is shared rather than absorbed. This distinction becomes particularly relevant in integration environments, where cultural and structural tension is high. A candid reflection on how I changed my own leadership habits to build a stronger team dynamic.
