This week on The Legacy Life, we are joined by Mory Katz, Head of ILS Casualty & Legacy at Juniper Re. Mory's career has spanned nearly every corner of the insurance industry, from his early days in claims and insurance analytics to leading a direct auto insurance company and ultimately becoming a recognized leader in the legacy and reinsurance market. Along the way, he has gained a unique perspective on how insurance, legacy solutions, and alternative capital are shaping the future of the industry.

A longtime supporter of AIRROC and its NextGen initiatives, Mory discusses the evolution of the legacy market, the importance of attracting new talent to the industry, and why insurance plays a far greater role in society than many people realize. He encourages young professionals to stay curious, build a broad understanding of the business, and look beyond their area of specialization. According to Mory, the industry's future belongs not only to experts, but to those who can connect the dots across claims, underwriting, finance, reinsurance, and capital.

This podcast is brought to you by AIRROC, the ONLY U.S. organization dedicated to insurance and reinsurance companies with legacy business in their portfolios. We serve as the convening hub of the legacy market, bringing companies together to advance transactions, share expertise, develop leaders, and strengthen the industry.
