Don’t miss your chance to participate in our next Insurance Cultural Awareness Network (iCAN) Coffee with the CEO initiative!
What is Coffee with the CEO?
In an effort to connect our members and provide them with access to senior executives across the insurance sector, we work with our sponsors and partners to pull together an all-star cast of C-Suite individuals from across the industry to host career sessions with iCAN members. In these sessions they will discuss everything from career advice to their views on the industry and insights into their own career journey – essentially everything you need to empower your own career.
Join us on May 7th for our latest Coffee with the CEO session with Michael Walsh, Global Markets Insurance Chief Operating Officer at Allied World.
