Create a clear direction, have some fun in a high-energy environment, set bold challenges… just a few points in the strategy set by QBE’s Group CFO Pat Regan when he took over the Australian and New Zealand Operations division. Meet the man who’s tipped for great things at QBE in this month’s edition of Insurance News (the magazine).

The Australian industry’s most popular magazine also looks at how disruption in the SME market is affecting brokers, and examines how automation is reshaping the global economy ­– and insurance.

You’ll find profiles of industry leaders providing their perspectives, discover how Millennials are going to change the world, and find out why bushfire-resistant homes burned last summer. Marine insurance, a major broker that’s making inroads into the SME space, and insurers’ struggle to get ahead of cyber criminals.

All that and so much more in Insurance News (the magazine), which will start arriving in mailboxes across the nation this week.
