Securing Talent and Tech: Thriving in a Poly-Crisis World with Tara Foley

|

Learning: Unstructured

In the latest episode of MGAA Conversations, we are thrilled to welcome Tara Foley, CEO of AXA UK and Ireland, and the first leader representing our Platinum annual sponsor. Tara’s insights illuminate the vital steps the insurance industry must take to navigate today’s challenges and position itself as a future-focused sector.

At the heart of Tara’s message is a profound truth: insurance is the “democratisation of risk.” The industry underpins the economy and daily life, providing critical support when people are at their most vulnerable. But as Tara notes, the industry’s essential role is often overshadowed by outdated perceptions of insurance as unexciting or overly bureaucratic.

To recruit the next generation of industry leaders, we must change this narrative, showcasing insurance as a purpose-driven and empathetic career path. Tara points out the spectrum of opportunities available in insurance:

“If you want to be challenged intellectually, there’s plenty of that. If you want to be very people-focused, there’s plenty of that. I just think we’ve got to get better at how we explain that.”
