I am a curious & analytical person. Starting my career at AIG seems like a fortuitous launch into the decade long year journey from Underwriter to Risk Management.Looking back to the formative training years, in addition to financial and critical thinking skills, underwriting requires a healthy dose of imagination - “What could possibly go wrong? How to shape a solution?”. I love that process. Questions like “What problems are you trying to solve? How can I help you get there?” often lead to real, lasting, and rewarding broker-underwriter relationships. Handling objections and making persuasive arguments were incredibly important. The people side of the business was fun, and I learned a lot from them. There is nothing like seeing things from the opposite side. Going from the seller (Carrier) to the buyer side (Risk Management) allowed me to apply technical communication in business contexts. Risk management is about deploying tools to allow the company to grow safely and successfully, and if things go wrong, the company can bounce back quickly. Today, I’m closer to a community of talented and dedicated professionals that aim to support the global energy transition. We’re working hard because we (billions of us around the globe) all share the fragile climate. The science supports the expansion of renewable energy as one of the many components that can slow down and reverse the effect of climate change. I want to be part of this community. For that reason, I have written a blog CleanPowerWhisperer.AIOutside of work, I like to read, visit parks, travel around the globe, and parenting two curious kids. Books open doors to knowledge; nature offers beauty beyond the material world; traveling rejuvenates all the senses; and most wonderfully of all, parenting brings joy and meaning (and sometimes, an incredible sense of honesty).Stay curious. Be safe & Be well.
