sector compared to some of our peers,” she said. “And we’ve got a very wide range of products, which means we can look to manage the cycles among that product range while leveraging the team’s wide range of expertise.” For example, SCOR’s New Energy Practice allows the teams to coordinate expertise from diverse areas such as onshore and offshore energy, cyber, construction, political and credit, casualty, liability, and others to create custom solutions that meet a client’s specific needs in facing the energy transition. By providing end-to-end coverage – from project financing, original equipment manufacturing and credit risk transfer to project construction, operation, and decommissioning – the New Energy Practice ensures that the Group’s clients are protected at every stage of their energy transition journey. “Our clients do still want to be treated individually,” she said. “After all, it’s individual companies with unique sets of challenges. We have considerable technical expertise within our underwriting teams that enables us to really understand what’s going on with our clients and suggest coverage solutions that could be meaningful.” Claire sees a huge potential for growth at SCOR Business Solutions and moving forward she has three key goals: growing the teams’ presence in the direct corporate insurance market and other key markets, solidifying SCOR Business Solutions’ leadership position in the energy transition, and expanding on specialty lines offerings. To do this, she is focused on providing her teams with the tools and resources they need, establishing a strategic roadmap together, and then giving them the space they need to accomplish these goals. “My leadership style is to work towards what is best for the Group,” she said. “I want to try and leave an organization in a better place than how I found it and I want the people working with me to have the chance to grow. It’s really about getting to understand the people that I’m working with and what they’re looking to achieve. How can we match up their strengths with the goals of the organization – and how can we do that together?” For Claire, now more than ever, this comes down to collaboration, diversity of perspectives, and integrity. “It’s a very complex world,” she said. “We work with many moving parts and no one person is going to know everything, so you need to be effective in terms of how you bring different voices in. That collaboration naturally brings a diversity of perspectives to solving or addressing an issue. Then, of course, you have to be doing things for the right reasons and that’s where the integrity comes in – all of which really resonate with The SCOR Way values.” . “I want the people working with me to have the chance to grow.” C.McD.
