Lori Seidenberg 2022 Heart of RIMS Award Winner

Lori Seidenberg is the Global Director of Real Assets Insurance at BlackRock, Inc. and has over 30 years of experience in the risk management and insurance space. For five years, Lori also worked in the entertainment industry as an Insurance Claims Manager. In this episode, Lori shares what it was like working for the entertainment industry and how to increase interest and diversity in the workplace, and provides helpful networking tips at the end to help new professionals get ahead.   Key Takeaways:   A little bit about Lori and her role at BlackRock.   Lori got started at AllState and fell in love with the insurance industry.   How does BlackRock see risk?   Lori learned a lesson early on that you have to look at the written documentation as your source of truth, and not necessarily people’s language or interpretation of insurance policies.   Insurance policies are black and white. They’re not as scary as you might think.   Lori shares what her experience was like working in insurance within the entertainment industry.   Confidentiality is key when working with high-profile celebrities.   When a celebrity is a real jerk, it really changes your perspective over them as an actor.   Lori has been in the industry for over 30 years and has seen a wide range of changes to the industry. Women had a stricter dress code back then.   However, it can be discouraging to see that the insurance industry is still heavily male-dominated.   What can the insurance industry do to increase diversity?   When you have three different generations working under the same roof, you get a wide range of perspectives that make it a better place to work.   Lori shares what makes her slightly different in the industry.   Lori says if women want to get ahead, learn how to play golf. She explains why it’s important.
