Sentinel’s Post

⭐ February is #insurancecareersmonth! We asked Reeves Zaytoun, MLIS, why he transitioned to the Insurance industry: “I spent over seven years with a very reputable software company. Towards the end of my time there, I began to feel like just another cog in a stagnant, corporate machine. As a result, I wanted a change. What I found in the insurance industry is both stability and a dynamic environment. Let’s be honest, the insurance industry is not going anywhere. And the nature of my job, focusing on cyber liability coverage lines, has allowed me to learn in a space that is constantly changing from a risk standpoint. Moreover, what I found at Sentinel specifically, was a group of very smart, talented, and experienced people who I could learn from and develop a career with. Taking all of that into consideration, making the transition was quite an easy decision. And I am happier with where I am and where I am headed at Sentinel each and every day.” Are you interested in making the transition to the Insurance industry?

🔎 🏢 Due Diligence, Market Concerns, and Market Solutions 🏢 🔍 Over the past few years, I have spent a lot of time digging into High TIV (Total Insured Value) problems faced by the P&C Insurance space. I have collaborated with a lot of subject matter experts (abridged list below): 🖊  Actuaries 🖊  Agents & Brokers 🖊  Claims Executives 🖊  Executive General Adjusters 🖊  Facilities Maintenance 🖊  General Contractors 🖊  Geographic and Geospatial Technical Experts 🖊  Insurance Commissioners 🖊  MGAs 🖊  Professional Property Managers 🖊  Reinsurers 🖊 Regulators 🖊  Risk Management 🖊  SaaS 🖊  Underwriters 🖊  Etc. I frame the space over my 31 years and what I hope to see: 🖊  What Was – Hyper Focused on reported and obvious damage. 🖊  What Is – Focus on complete inspection over and above “damages.” 🖊  What Should Be – Establishing a pre-loss baseline to measure against. During collaboration, the feedback has all been positive with a twist. I’ve been told that “Tim, the industry absolutely needs what you are suggesting, good luck with the underwriters. Don’t stop.” This had me going back to the drawing board over and over for the last year to solve the “Good luck convincing underwriters” piece of the puzzle. Well, I feel like I have finally solved that riddle and believe the baseline that I mention will cut significant time off the underwriting process, especially for higher TIV risks. If you are a creative and critical thinker and like collaborating, I’d love to chat. Special Thanks to Steven Romero who has spent countless hours on the phone with me.

Embracing the Fast Lane: A Junior Claims Underwriter's Journey Hey everyone! 👋 Sharing my journey as a Junior Claims Underwriter and how the fast-paced pressure has become a welcome challenge. In the fast-paced world of Claims Underwriting, staying in control is the key to success. Navigating through challenges, I've learned the importance of maintaining composure even in the face of customer backlash. Maintaining composure in claims management is crucial for effective problem-solving. It enables a clear-headed approach to assess situations, analyze data, and make informed decisions. When emotions are kept in check, it fosters professionalism, allowing for better communication with both clients and team members. This composure not only enhances efficiency but also builds trust, as clients appreciate a calm and collected response in times of uncertainty. Overall, composure in claims management is the cornerstone for getting the job done efficiently and effectively. I am glad Alpha Direct Insurance Co. gave me a platform to grow and appreciate the fast lane that is Claims management #ClaimsManagement #ProfessionalComposure
