We are joined by Juliana Toes, an Associate at Mayer Brown, this week on AIRROC’s The Legacy Life.

Juliana is a member of the AIRROC NextGen Council, and we have been keeping her very busy with speaking engagements this year. She has presented at the 2023 Deal Forum, the 2023 Regional Education Day in Chicago, the 2023 Demystifying Legacy event with RE40 in NYC and moderated a panel at the 2023 Summer Membership Meeting. While it may sound like a lot (and it is), Juliana says: “It’s been one of the greatest parts about AIRROC.” She enjoys having “the opportunity to go to different events and… sit down and talk with people, especially having the benefit of…having given one presentation… It’s just another way to…get your name out there, and it also just gives you something to now talk about with other people [at the events].”

If you’re a NextGen professional in the legacy space and presenting to industry leaders at conferences sounds like your cup of tea, get involved with AIRROC NextGen at the link below today! We are always looking for speakers and committee members. Looking for something in a leadership role? Applications for NextGen Council positions will be available for Fall 2023 soon!

This week we are joined by Layla Trummer, a Reinsurance Structurer at Munich Re Insurance America Incorporated. Layla is an active member of the AIRROC NextGen Council. If she sounds familiar, you may have heard her speaking at the 2023 Deal Forum, the 2023 Regional Education Day in Chicago or the 2023 Demystifying Legacy event with RE40 in NYC.

Layla discovered reinsurance in university while researching what kinds of companies hire actuaries. She may have been the only 18 year old to have ever said: "Wow. Insurance for insurance companies? That sounds pretty cool!" Working as a reinsurance structurer allowed Layla to develop her strategic thinking while still leveraging her technical background. She notes that once people get involved in reinsurance, particularly legacy reinsurance, they realize how interesting and dynamic the field is.

We’re talking to Sandy Santomenno and Eric Pince from WTW this week. Sandy is the soon-to-be retired Senior Director in charge of the legacy liabilities space at WTW which includes asbestos, environmental and health hazard claims. We’re glad we caught her before she left! And Eric is currently transitioning into the Senior Director role.

In this episode, we talk about the future of the legacy space, including how there’s an ongoing need for creative thinkers and people interested in learning how to use cutting edge technology such as AI and machine learning. “It’s a dynamic space. It’s a challenging space,” Eric says. “It definitely is a space for somebody who is curious.”
