Episode description

This week we’re joined by Dickie Whitaker, chief executive at Oasis Loss Modelling Framework, an open-source catastrophe modelling platform. The guys discuss Dickie’s introduction to the world of reinsurance, what drove him to build a non-profit organisation in the space, and the complexities of modelling complex risk. We also discover that Dickie knows multiple people who own trebuchets, a risk we price for in the game segment.
