Beginning today, I will be writing to you regularly from a unique perspective regarding risk management, managing claims, and underwriting risks. This perspective comes from 36 years as a multi-line insurance claims professional and insurance risk manager—with a few small twists.

I have a background that includes corporate high-risk management, anti-terror and security consultation, and investigation, which is tied into a variety of life experiences including an appointment as a former adjunct instructor at the Aerospace Department at the State University of New York, where I taught risk management, weather, cockpit systems, and navigation. I also completed stints as a corporate pilot and flight instructor and a two-year term as a Human Rights Commissioner.

New, obscure global risks pose a unique challenge to risk managers, claims professionals, and underwriters. As unlikely as these risks may seem, we will be faced with managing them and dealing with the resulting devastating losses.
