🎙 New Episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast – Live Now!


This week, I had the privilege of sitting down with Joan Kois Woodward, EVP of Public Policy at Travelers and Founding President of the Travelers Institute.


Joan is a true trailblazer with an incredible career spanning Capitol Hill, Goldman Sachs, and now, leading one of the most dynamic and impactful “do tanks” in the insurance industry.


In this episode, Joan shares her deep expertise and passion for driving innovation, education, and societal impact through insurance. We cover:

✅ How the Travelers Institute tackles critical global challenges like cybersecurity, distracted driving, and workforce risks, and why these issues matter to businesses and individuals alike.

✅ The role of insurance as a catalyst for innovation—from enabling advancements in self-driving cars to climate resilience and cyber defense.

✅ Her commitment to diversity and inclusion in the industry, including the launch of SheGolfs, a groundbreaking initiative empowering women to break barriers in traditionally male-dominated spaces.

✅ Why insurance is essential for society, acting as the backbone for businesses and individuals to recover, thrive, and innovate in an ever-changing world.


Joan’s perspective is a must-hear for anyone interested in leadership, public policy, innovation, or the transformative role of insurance.


Whether you’re leading a business, navigating risk, or simply curious about how insurance impacts nearly every aspect of our lives, this episode is packed with invaluable insights.


🎧 Tune in now to hear why Joan believes that education and collaboration are the keys to shaping a better future for our industry and society.
