Episode Synopsis
We are thrilled to be launching the MGAA Conversations podcast! Every episode, host Mike Keating, CEO of the Managing General Agents Association (MGAA) will be interviewing exciting guests active within our community about their unique insights. We aim to tackle every issue, challenge and opportunity currently facing the industry, and those we expect to emerge in the near future, ranging from the use of AI in Insurtech, to the challenges of incorporating new regulation across the MGA community. In our first full-length episode, we will be speaking with Graeme Trudgill, the newly appointed CEO of BIBA, with whom the MGAA are very closely associated.

“We're extremely excited to launch our new podcast channel. MGAA Conversations gives us the opportunity to speak to people who are very active within the MGA community, asking their personal views in terms of the opportunities and challenges [facing the community] that they're addressing. I think by doing that, that allows our other members and other people within the MGA community to listen and get views first-hand, from people who they respect and know, and shakers and movers in the industry.”
