Layla Trummer and Natalie Weedman were named co-recipients of this year’s AIRROC NextGen Leadership Award at the 2024 AIRROC Legacy Transactions & Networking Forum.
Layla Trummer is a Senior Underwriter at Allianz Reinsurance America, Inc. She has been an active member of AIRROC NextGen for two years and currently serves as the Co-Chair of the NextGen Council. Within mere months of joining the NextGen Council, Layla was representing NextGen on panels at AIRROC industry events. You can find her discussing the runoff industry and the nuts and bolts of legacy transactions on the AIRROC On Demand Platform.
Natalie Weedman is a Senior In-force Management Expert at Swiss Re. She has been an active member of AIRROC NextGen for three years. From her position on the Digital Content Committee, Natalie has led initiatives such as the “Where are they now” series on LinkedIn, which highlights former Trish Getty Scholarship winners and their career paths post-award. She also created the “NextGen asks” video series on LinkedIn, which interviews run-off professionals about how they got their start in the legacy space. Natalie also serves as the Co-Chair of the NextGen Council.
Under their combined leadership, AIRROC NextGen has flourished. Some of NextGen’s many accomplishments in 2024 include: welcoming five new members to the NextGen Council, participating in a strategic planning session with the AIRROC Board of Directors in July, sponsoring ReUnder40’s Intern Day where NextGen promoted legacy careers to over 100 college students, developing short-form content for their social media feed, and expanding the pool of potential applicants for the 2024 Trish Getty Scholarship.
AIRROC established the AIRROC NextGen Leadership Award in 2023 to highlight NextGen leaders and honor their achievements. The 2024 honorees will each receive a $2000 stipend for professional development. Funding for the award was made possible with the generous support of Carrick Holdings and supplemented by AIRROC. The award was established in honor and memory of Terry Kelaher, a founding AIRROC Board member.
AIRROC is honored to recognize Layla and Natalie for their accomplishments. We know AIRROC NextGen is in good hands and look forward to seeing where the group goes next.
