Episode 18 #InsurTechTalk by #InsurTechLA

This episode is different. Instead of talking about InsurTech, this week's guest, Daniel R'bibo, an Area SVP at Arthur J. Gallagher, enriches our knowledge about a topic that is close to InsuTechLA's heart, and that is the Entertainment Industry, and particularly - entertainment insurance. LA, after all.
