Ep 118 Vicky Carter: Nurturing the Future of the Industry

Tuesday Apr 05, 2022

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.
