In the first episode of our new podcast, Jean-Paul Conoscente, the CEO of Scor Global P&C, joins Meg Green, the managing editor of Insider Engage, for an exclusive interview.
In this episode, Meg and Jean-Paul cover climate change in depth – looking at its impact on the insurance industry on both sides of the balance sheet, the role that insurers have to play in fighting it, and how they can help mitigate its impact on everyday lives.
Jean-Paul also reflects on his route into insurance, and what has kept him in the sector over the last three decades.
