“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
Happily, “the man behind the curtain” and prior AIRROC Chair Tom Mendralla – who, sadly, we never profiled for this publication – recommended Stacie join the AIRROC Board. And while her office is in Kansas City, NOT Kansas, Stacie looks forward to working on the Board, continuing AIRROC’s journey down the yellow brick road toward the shining Emerald City of Legacy Management. She is currently a Senior In-Force Management Expert at Swiss Re.
After graduating from (you guessed it) the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, and a brief stint in advertising, she found adventure in the wild world of reinsurance. She has been at Swiss Re ever since, loving the variety of interests, collaborating with a team to close deals, and handling the “every-deal-is different” aspect of her work. Her career at Swiss Re allows her to work with other disciplines within the company to tailor deals for optimum results for Swiss Re and its customers.
Most importantly, her job has given her the chance to attend AIRROC education events and meetings over the years, where she discovered significant value in meeting colleagues from other run-off companies. In her view, there is no substitute for the added dimension that in-person meetings give to mutual interests in getting deals done and pursuing mutual business goals. Stacie is so convinced that AIRROC’s publications and educational sessions offer critical deliverables to its members that she intends to convince others at Swiss Re to take part in those efforts. Stacie recently earned her Certified Legacy Professional designation and is the co-chair of the Digital Content Committee.
On a personal note, Stacie is an avid runner, a Girls Scouts troop leader (get your cookie orders in!) and, not to leave Toto behind, she often volunteers at dog rescue shelters—keeping dogs out of the hands of Almira Gultch!
Please join me in welcoming Stacie to our adventures as a member of our Board of Directors and co-chair of the Digital Content Committee.
