William Kegg
Business Analytics (Focus in Insurance and Risk Management) Major, University of Cincinnati
In this podcast episode, William Kegg, a graduate student studying business analytics with a focus in insurance and risk management, shares his journey into the insurance and risk management industry. Initially uninterested, a mentor convinced him to give it a try, and he hasn't looked back since. He discusses the endless possibilities in the industry, whether it's on the risk management or insurance side. William also highlights the value of personal connections, especially after the isolation caused by the pandemic, and describes the PRIMA annual conference as a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and explore potential career opportunities.
