What advice would you give to someone starting out in the business?
From day one, remember that the relationships you build are as important as what you learn.
How will your work change going forward?
The reps and warranty insurance industry is experiencing some significant claims activity and our focus will need to shift to addressing sustainability of the product for the long term.
What should the industry do to attract more young people to work in it?
We need to dispel some misconceptions about the industry. If you have a background in technology, finance, marketing, etc., you may discount the insurance industry. We need to get better at articulating the opportunities in the insurance industry for people who are not necessarily looking to be underwriters or brokers.
What is something about you that would surprise people?
I was born in Russia and immigrated to the U.S. when I was 7 years old.
What do you know now that you wish you knew at 18?
I now know that the perfect time to try different things and make a ton of mistakes is when you’re young. I wish I did more of that when I was 18 and in my 20s.
All-time favorite movie?
“Good Will Hunting.”
What is your favorite meal?
Sushi.
