Why did you choose to work in this industry initially? It chose me! Reinsurance is in my blood. My father was the general counsel of Swiss Re America for most of my conscious life. Actually, I initially tried to steer clear—choosing to become a litigator in private practice in New York City. As luck would have it, I was eventually assigned to reinsurance arbitrations and, after a few of them, realised I enjoyed reinsurance law and the reinsurance community. I eventually moved to an in- house position at St. Paul Re and then joined Arch (my current employer) just after its inception in 2002.


What has been the highlight of your career so far? Even though I do my best to help my company avoid disputes, I have to admit that arbitration is still one of my favourite parts of the job. I find the intensity and the team dynamics invigorating and fun. Winning a major arbitration fairly early on in my career was a big highlight. Looking back, the highlights of my career have been supporting the underwriting teams on major deals. While it’s often difficult to maintain the intensity required, I love

the high of being part of a smart team that is really clicking and pushing together to get a job done.


What has been the biggest challenge you have


encountered? The challenge continues to be holding my own among the incredibly smart and talented business people surrounding me every day. It takes confidence but, to be effective, I have to stick my neck out.


If you had chosen a different profession/career path, what would it have been? I would have worked with dogs. Possibly dispute resolution.
