In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Karn Saroya, Co-Founder and CEO of Cover, an insurtech company whose primary product is a mobile app in which you can take a photo of a personal belonging, submit it to Cover, and Cover will find a market for that item. Karn is a serial entrepreneur who came into insurance from the fashion & marketing side of business. We discuss what lead him to get excited about insurance and what it takes to make a successful company from a startup. Karn & Cover are highly customer focused, which is refreshing and Cover is definitely exploring different ways to build a new insurance business model.CONNECT WITH KARN SAROYA

In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Herbert Chain and Larry Pistell of the St. John's University Tobin College of Business. Herb and Larry talked about the business school's history of insurance education. St. John's has one of the preeminent global insurance and risk management programs. St. John's is also bringing Insurtech to New York City. St. John's will host its 2nd Annual Insurtech conference on March 8th. It is an all-day event that I highly recommend. I was a panelist last year and the event is full of thought leaders, industry veterans, many startups and students and professors of St. John's.

The agenda for the event is:

• 2020 and Beyond: The Future of Insurance

Mike Hubbel is a professor of Risk Management within Temple University's Fox School of Business. The program is often rated as one of the top undergrad/grad risk management & insurance programs in the US. We have written in the past, why a degree program is so valuable and in this episode Mike & I go into some detail about why. Mike, like Zach Finn of Butler University, started his career in insurance and then moved into academia. This is important in that Mike can truly teach real world problems to his students and also prepare them for what they will face day-to-day when they graduate. We discuss the trade-offs of getting a degree versus a designation and the other benefits of learning insurance and risk management from a university.
