The state of the insurance industry has come under
deep scrutiny, particularly as the recent COVID-19
pandemic revealed new risks and weaknesses
against a backdrop of market volatility. The future of the
industry depends upon modern insurance leaders who have
the visionary traits to disrupt and innovate within their
organizations.
The insurance industry has unique challenges and
opportunities. Navigating these well is the key to success in
the insurance world. Your team needs great leadership to
help them manage these challenges and opportunities. One
important aspect of being a good leader is to nurture your
team. As their leader, your team looks to you for guidance,
strength, motivation, and support.
You essentially take on the parent role for your team, and it
is your responsibility to make sure that your team is healthy
and happy. A good leader recognizes what makes each team
member great. By realizing each member’s strengths,
leaders can better organize their team and projects based on
each person’s ability.
Innovation is essential to the survival of your insurance
business. If your company doesn’t innovate well, your
business will plateau. What’s more, competitors who are
innovating will pass you by. Innovation starts at the team
level. The more you empower your team to innovate, the
more innovative you will become as a company.
Fortunately, innovation can be cultivated.
Keeping the company’s overall mission in mind is an
essential skill of a good leader. Without this vision, teams
can quickly lose their direction and get off course. Seeing
the big picture and implementing it into projects helps your
team stay in alignment with company goals.
Embracing the journey of the leaders who are enabling
novelties in the modern insurance industry with a unique
approach while showcasing significant traits, Insights

ne80 Intermediaries, a leading insurance

months ago as Chief Marketing Officer to

over two decades of experience in sales and marketing,
Lenika is responsible for upholding the One80 brand,
sustaining One80’s customer centric culture, leveraging data
analytics,andanticipatingmarketchangeanddisruption.
Lenika joined One80 Intermediaries in 2019 as the National
Director of Sales and Marketing, where she played a key role
in boosting the company's revenue and brand awareness
through her leadership of sales and growth initiatives. She
also oversaw media relations, sponsorship activity, and social
responsibility efforts, all of which contributed to the

As a CMO, Lenika is set to take One80 Intermediaries to new
heights by leveraging her expertise in branding and

PriorWork Experiences
Prior to joining One80 Intermediaries, Lenika enjoyed a 10-
year career with Citigroup with posts in New York, Hong
Kong, Shanghai and London. She began her banking career
working alongside Citi’s CEO, Vikram Pandit, in the office of
Global CorporateAffairs in New York. She was then asked to
relocate to the Asia-Pacific region to serve on the Regional
Government and PublicAffairs team. Here, Lenika supported
Citi’s public relations strategy as the bank expanded its
consumerpresencethroughouttheChinesemarket.
Lenika was then appointed to regional trade marketing head
for Europe, Middle East, and Africa for two years, until she
was promoted to global trade marketing head, based in
London. In this role, she led global trade marketing efforts to
drive product and client segment strategies, worked with
leaders throughout the globe to execute marketing strategies
that differentiated Citi, de-commoditized Citi's product set,
and drove 20% year-over-year growth for Citi’s $1.6B trade
business.
She began her career at American International Group where
she held a variety of underwriting, sales and marketing roles
throughout the US. She served as a media relations intern for
the White House in 1999, graduated with honours from the
University of California in 2000, and received an MBA in
International Marketing from Georgetown University in
2008.
Lenika is active in her local community. With three daughters
under the age of nine, she is passionate about empowering
women and developing the next generation of leaders. She
serves on her local school board and leads a committee
dedicated to nurturing father-daughter relationships. She is
also involved with USA Women’s Water Polo and is a
volunteerwiththeNationalBrainTumourSociety.
One80 Intermediaries: Innovating at the Pace of

dream job as the Chief Marketing Officer for One80
Intermediaries. As the CMO, she leads all marketing,
advertising, media, and public relations efforts for the

responsible for driving the One80 brand through digital and

early stages as the second employee. She served as the

andnarrative,whilealsodefiningitsculture.
In just three years, One80 has grown to become one of the
largest intermediaries in the United States, employing over
1,800 employees with offices in 55 locations throughout the
US and Canada. In 2022, Business Insurance ranked One80
as the 5th Largest MGA/Underwriting Manager/Lloyd's
Cover holder and 5th Largest Underwriting Manager in the
country.
One80's success is attributed to its culture built on trust,
unparalleled industry expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit.
These values were at the core of One80's business plan
prior to launch, and the company has remained committed
to them since its inception.
Learnings from Experiences
Ten years into her career, Lenika was serving as a
Marketing Associate for Citi's Office of Global Corporate
Affairs when she witnessed the collapse of Lehman
Brothers, the fourth-largest investment bank in the United
States and the climax of the subprime mortgage crisis, on
the morning news. Lenika worked tirelessly in the
following months, often sleeping under her desk in the
office at night, to contribute to Citi's response to the
volatility of the markets. She experienced confusion, fear,
and excitement during this time.
Lenika worked closely with Citi's CEO, Vikram Pandit, and
the public relations team to craft talking points for the
Congressional Oversight Committee. She played a part in
an effort that instilled trust in lawmakers and beyond.
Although she did not realize it at the time, the lessons she
learned during this time continued to inform her

professional decisions well into the future. These lessons
included the importance of dedication, teamwork, strategy,
remaining calm in the face of crisis, mental and physical
endurance, clear communication, and transparency.
Culture Built on Trust
One80 launched in January 2020, just two months before
the Covid-19 outbreak that would change the world. The
pandemic forced the company to quickly adapt and develop
an inclusive culture through new ways of working and
advanced technologies. At the time, it was challenging to
quantify the economic implications of the pandemic.
Similar to Lenika's experience at Citi during the financial
crisis, it was crucial to build trust with employees as they
faced uncertain times.
To alleviate employee concerns and signal that their jobs
were protected, One80's top 200 employees volunteered to
take a 20% salary reduction. This action removed financial
insecurities and conveyed the message that any fiscal
burden would be contained within the management team.
Unparalleled Industry Expertise
One80 focuses on highly specialized areas in the market,
maintaining deep understanding of the clients and industries
they we serve; and responding with tailored solutions that
are not offered by our competitors. These attributes are
underscored by One80’s ability to respond to market
changes with speed and decisiveness. One80 continues to
prioritize the development of new programs in response to
ever-changing market needs. In 2022, Lenika spearheaded
an initiative to establish the NextGen Innovation Forum.
This forum brought together the next generation of leaders
at One80 for a three-day offsite event. As part of the forum,
One80 invited industry influencers to host an Innovation
Workshop.
Following the workshop, forum delegates were divided into
teams and tasked with creating a product, service, or
solution to meet the needs of One80's clients. These groups
will present their ideas to the executive committee in May,
with the goal of launching viable products in the coming
year.
This initiative serves as an example of how One80's culture
is centered around bringing new programs/MGAs to
market, delivering consistent products and capacity to
distribution partners, and providing a home for
entrepreneurial underwriting talent.

industry built on providing financial security during uncertain times.
• Collaboration and Inclusivity

development of more comprehensive and inclusive products and services.

disruptions, adaptive problem-solving is a trait that women
leaders bring to the forefront. These leaders are adept at
navigating complex situations, finding solutions and
making quick decisions in rapidly changing environments.
Their ability to think on their feet and remain composed
under pressure reshapes the industry’s response to emerging
risks and uncertainties.
• Resilience and Risk Management
Resilience is a trait that goes hand in hand with leadership
in the insurance sector. Women leaders are demonstrating

contributes to the stability and growth of their
organizations. Their resilience serves as an inspiration for

• Innovation and Future-focused Vision
The insurance industry has been transformed by

insurance sector.

Women leaders are actively committed to their own
professional development as well as the growth of their
teams. They understand the value of continuous learning in
an industry that is constantly evolving. By encouraging
ongoing education and skill development, they are
equipping their organizations to stay ahead in a competitive
landscape.

insurance industry, and women leaders are setting a high
standard in this regard. They prioritize ethical behavior,
transparency and accountability, creating a culture of trust
both internally and externally. This commitment to ethical
practices is enhancing the industry’s reputation and
fostering long-term relationships with clients.

transforming the sector through their traits and qualities but
they are also breaking long-standing stereotypes and
inspiring others to follow in their footsteps. As more
women take on leadership roles, the industry is becoming
more diverse and inclusive, which in turn is fostering
innovation and fresh perspectives.

diverse array of transformative traits. A horse of a different
color, women leaders in insurance possess distinct qualities
from empathy and customer-centric focus to resilience,
innovation and ethical leadership. With these, they reshape

policy where everyone's voice is heard, and our team
members are given the resources and flexibility to perform

Lifelong Lessons
Eleni's first boss imparted a valuable lesson that she has
held close to her heart throughout her career. She firmly
believes that business is all about building relationships and
connecting with people on a personal level. While she
understands the importance of structure and efficiency, she
always remembers that there's a human being on the other

In the insurance industry, a significant shift is happening

people of color in leadership roles. Traditionally dominated
by white men, the industry is now experiencing a more
focused effort on developing leaders with diverse
backgrounds and life experiences. Eleni, for instance, is a
first-generation American and a woman, and her unique
perspective brings a valuable contribution to the table. This
evolution is beneficial for the next generation of leaders and
the industry as a whole.
Passing On the Knowledge
Eleni's first boss taught her an important lesson that she still
applies today: don't be afraid to make mistakes. Eleni
believes that making new mistakes is crucial for personal
growth. The insurance industry offers many opportunities to
take risks and try new things. Eleni encourages others to be
willing to fail and to have a mindset that welcomes
challenges.
She advises finding internal and external partners who share
similar values but can offer different perspectives. With the
right mindset and support system, taking risks can lead to
meaningful growth and success both personally and
professionally.

insurance industry. They analyze data, assess risks and
determine appropriate premium rates to ensure that
insurance companies remain financially stable while
meeting their obligations.
Underwriting: Underwriters evaluate applications for
insurance coverage to determine the level of risk involved.
They decide whether to approve or deny coverage and set
premium rates based on their assessment.
Claims Management: The claims process involves
policyholders submitting claims for covered losses, which
are then reviewed by claims adjusters. These professionals
assess the validity of claims and determine the appropriate
compensation.
Distribution Channels: Insurance products are distributed
through various channels, including insurance agents,
brokers, online platforms, and direct sales. These channels
play a crucial role in educating customers and helping them
choose the right coverage.
Challenges in the Insurance Niche
The insurance niche faces several challenges that influence
its dynamics and shape industry practices:
Risk Assessment: Accurate risk assessment is essential for
maintaining the financial stability of insurance companies.
As new risks emerge, such as those related to cybersecurity
or climate change, insurers must adapt their underwriting
and pricing models.
August 2023 | 22 | www.insightssuccess.com
n today’s complex and uncertain world, the insurance
Iindustry plays a pivotal role in providing individuals,
businesses and communities with financial protection
and peace of mind. The insurance niche encompasses a
wide range of services and products, from life and health
insurance to property and casualty coverage. This article
delves into the dynamics of the insurance niche, examining
its key components, challenges, innovations, and its ever-
evolving role in modern society.
Understanding the Insurance Niche
The insurance niche revolves around the transfer of risk
from individuals or businesses to insurance companies. By
paying premiums, policyholders secure coverage against
potential losses, which can include damage to property,
illness, accidents, or even death. In return, insurance
companies pool these premiums and use them to
compensate policyholders who experience covered losses.
Components of the Insurance Niche
The insurance niche is multifaceted, comprising various
components that contribute to its overall functioning:
Types of Insurance: The insurance landscape spans diverse
categories, including life insurance, health insurance, auto
insurance, property insurance, liability insurance, and more.
Each type caters to specific risks and needs.
Actuarial Science: Actuaries, professionals with expertise
in mathematics and statistics, play a pivotal role in the

25. August 2023 | 23 | www.insightssuccess.com

26. Regulatory Landscape: Insurance is heavily regulated to
protect consumers and ensure industry stability. Navigating
complex regulatory frameworks can be challenging,
particularly as laws and regulations evolve.
Technology Disruption: Technological advancements are
transforming the insurance industry. Insurtech startups are
leveraging data analytics, Artificial Intelligence and
blockchain to streamline processes, enhance customer
experiences and offer innovative insurance solutions.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity: As insurers collect and
store vast amounts of sensitive customer data, protecting
this information from cyber threats and ensuring
compliance with data privacy regulations is a significant
concern.
Customer Expectations: Today’s consumers demand
personalized experiences and seamless interactions.
Insurance companies must adapt to meet these expectations,
providing user-friendly digital platforms and tailored
coverage options.
Innovations Shaping the Insurance Niche
The insurance industry is undergoing a digital
transformation, driven by innovative technologies and
changing consumer preferences:
Digital Platforms: Insurers are investing in user-friendly
digital platforms that enable customers to manage policies,
file claims and obtain information online. This enhances
convenience and improves customer engagement.
Telematics and IoT: Telematics and the Internet of Things
(IoT) have revolutionized auto insurance. Devices and
sensors collect data on driving behavior, enabling insurers
to offer usage-based policies and reward safe driving habits.
Artificial Intelligence: AI-powered chatbots and virtual
assistants are improving customer interactions by providing
instant support, answering queries and guiding customers
through the claims process.
Blockchain Technology: Blockchain enhances
transparency and security in the insurance industry. It can
streamline processes like claims management, reducing
fraud and administrative costs.
Data Analytics: Advanced data analytics enable insurers to
gain insights into customer behavior, risk trends and market
dynamics. This information informs pricing strategies and
product development.
The Evolving Role of Insurance in Society
Beyond financial protection, insurance plays a broader role
in society:
Risk Mitigation: Insurance encourages risk mitigation and
safety measures. For instance, homeowners may take steps
to prevent property damage to reduce their insurance
premiums.
Economic Stability: Insurance provides a safety net in the
face of unexpected events, helping individuals and
businesses recover and maintain financial stability.
Social Responsibility: Certain types of insurance, like
health and life insurance, contribute to social welfare by
ensuring access to medical care and financial support for
families in times of crisis.
Supporting Entrepreneurship: Business insurance allows
entrepreneurs to take calculated risks and innovate,
knowing that their investments are protected.
Final Words
The insurance niche is a multifaceted and evolving sector
that revolves around risk management and financial
protection. It encompasses a variety of insurance types,
each tailored to specific needs and risks. Despite challenges
such as changing consumer expectations, emerging risks
and regulatory complexities, the industry is adapting
through technological innovations and data-driven
strategies. As technology continues to shape the landscape,
insurance remains a vital component of modern society,
providing individuals and businesses with the security and
confidence to navigate an unpredictable world.
