Ep 118 Vicky Carter: Nurturing the Future of the Industry

Today I’m talking to Vicky Carter, a very senior reinsurance
broking executive with a glittering career. As well as chairing
Capital Solutions, International at Guy Carpenter, Vicky is a
Member of The Council of Lloyd's and is a Lloyd's Deputy
Chairman.


But we aren’t going to be talking about her day job
intermediating between the insurance community and the
reinsurance and capital markets and helping to guide and
represent 1 Lime Street. That’s because for over a decade Vicky
has also been directly involved in Guy Carpenter, MMC and the
wider market’s youth development programmes. This work has
culminated in the very high-profile Rising Professionals series
of events in London. As the first post-pandemic edition is fast
approaching I decided to focus this interview on what our
industry has learned from the pandemic and what plans and
strategies there are to get young people’s careers back on track
now that the world is tentatively returning back to face-to-face
working. Were there any positives from the accidental
work-from-home revolution caused by Covid? And how has insurance
fared versus other sectors in the Great Resignation that has
followed in its wake? Vicky is one of the market’s great
communicators and this is a typically enjoyable and frank
encounter, that doesn’t duck any of the big questions. LINKS We
