Rose Hall
Founder, RH Business Ventures | Former Head of Innovation, AXA XL
In this conversation, Rose Hall shares her journey from a high-powered corporate career in risk management to becoming a consultant focused on innovation in the insurance industry. She discusses the importance of taking risks, the impact of gender in male-dominated fields, and the need for a shift in how risk is perceived and managed.
Insurance should be a risk-management partner that sells insurance. Unlike consultants, insurers share the risk — Rose's vision flips the industry from selling paper to actively helping clients manage risk.
Well-understood risk is a profitability driver. A contractor who specialized in troubled projects everyone else feared turned deep risk knowledge into outsized margins.
Build ecosystems, not pilots. At AXA XL she created the Tech Adoption Maturity Index and a curated network of ~35 vetted construction technologies with negotiated discounts — then scaled it to nine more lines of business.
For 50 bucks, let them tell you no. Rose applied to Stanford and Princeton against the odds and got into both; women bench themselves by waiting for 100% of the criteria when men apply at 60%.
