Paolo Mantero, Group Head of Reinsurance at Zurich, spent his first RVS arguing it's the least useful conversation in the room. On the Reinsurance Podcast yacht, he makes the case for data centres, AI and climate risk instead, and explains why cedents who sit out the new economy lose the right to be heard.


WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Why insurers risk irrelevance if they can't serve the fastest-growing part of the economy
  • How cedents can claim a bigger share of data centre and infrastructure deals, and what staying on the sidelines costs them
  • Where AI actually earns its keep in reinsurance: seeing the interconnections between risks, not just shaving time off processes
  • Why your growth strategy, not the cycle, should frame every conversation with brokers and reinsurers
  • How traditional reinsurance and capital markets each fit, and where sidecars come in
  • Why prevention could become insurance's most important social role as climate volatility rises
