Event Introduction: Dickie Whitaker, Chief Executive, Oasis LMF

There is more to modelling than assessing risks and perils around the world: it is about those who are passionate regarding their work in this specialty, the communication in the industry, the culture of cat modelling and the evolution of models.

At this event we welcome guest speakers who are recognized experts in catastrophe risk modelling. As March globally commemorates the annual International Women’s Day, we highlight females in this field where communication is key.

Our guest panel will chat with Shari Zola on the interesting challenges that they have experienced, the global nature of the job and finding solutions to cat risk.  Our guests will also highlight the accessibility of a career in cat, and how this may attract more females to the profession.

With topics to focus upon, each will shed light on why they chose this career path, how they started, what inspired them, greatest achievements and what could be in store for the next generation.
