Kita, Carbon Risks & the Responsibility of the Insurance Industry : An Interview with Natalia Dorfman, CEO & Co-Founder & James Kench, Head of Insurance at Kita

We are sharing a very exciting episode on The Leadership In Insurance Podcast today as we’re joined by two guests from the Kita team, Natalia Dorfman, CEO & Co-Founder & James Kench, CFA Kench, Head of Insurance to discuss all things #Carbon insurance.

We love talking about emerging risks a lot on this podcast, and this episode is just that…

🎙 Our conversation covers all things climate risk - If we as an industry say we are committed to ESG, what responsibility do we have to cover such risks?

🎙 We look at the origin story of Kita and how the team came together (Shout out Natalia’s other co-founders, Paul Young, PhD & Thomas Merriman)

🎙 We discuss the climate crisis and the specific problem they are trying to solve

🎙 We talk about the power of the insurance industry when it comes to environmental impact - does the. insurance have the potential to be a blocker, i.e. not covering the carbon risks, or an enabler – de-risking the business and allowing more efficient capital deployment?

🎙 We delve into the Lloyd's Lab experience, how was that? You entered the lab with the bones of an idea - what did you learn?

🎙 We look at James’ role within Kita and how his insurance expertise compliments thier forward-thinking strategy, as well as their distribution strategy, how does it work? what are the challenges you’re seeing? You’re not trying to disintermediate the broker - is it more a case of market education?

🎙 Finally we look at what’s on the horizon for Kita and the team - watch this space!
