BROCK ROBBINS CEO of SCOR L&H US Brock Robbins CEO of SCOR L&H US From his early days as an actuary to his current role as CEO of SCOR L&H US, Brock Robbins has found the reinsurance industry to be a unique blend of people, technical challenges, and leadership opportunities. Beginning his career as an accident and health reinsurance actuary in Canada, he held a series of roles that allowed him to gain a deep understanding of the reinsurance sector and paved the way to future opportunities. This eventually led him to Transamerica Re in Charlotte, where he was working as Chief Pricing Actuary of the life reinsurance business when SCOR acquired the company in 2011. “Looking back on my career, one of the things that stands out is how you have to be willing to take a chance,” he says. “I held my first Vice President role in my early 30s, so I had a lot of responsibility fairly early in my career. It forced me to build discipline and accountability.” “The US market is unique due to the structure of the healthcare system,” Brock adds, “which leads to significant differences in mortality expectations by socio-economic class. This presents both challenges and opportunities for us to have a real positive impact by offering tailored insurance solutions to underserved middle markets.” He also points out that the US regulatory environment, with its rules-based statutory regulations, creates potential inefficiencies that SCOR must navigate. At the same time, the market’s needs are shifting as the baby boomer generation ages and this “silver tsunami” sees a record number of Americans hit retirement age: nearly a quarter of the country’s population is now 60 or older. In order to respond to these trends, Brock’s vision focuses on teamwork, growth, and alignment with The SCOR Way values: Care, Integrity, Courage, Open Minds, Collaboration. “These values aren’t something that’s coming from top down,” he says. “They’re a reflection of where we are at and where we’re aspiring to go as an organization.” . “[We can] have a real positive impact by offering tailored insurance solutions to underserved middle markets.” B.R. “I believe good leaders build good culture… which benefits us as individuals, as a team, and as a company.” C.W.
