IIS Announces RGA Leaders of Tomorrow Class of 2025, Set to Feature Participants at the Global Insurance Forum

The International Insurance Society (IIS) is proud to announce the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow Class of 2025, a talented, global group of emerging insurance executives. Select participants will share their insights at the 61st IIS Global Insurance Forum, convening Oct. 26-27, 2025, at the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue.

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), a global leader in life and health reinsurance, continues its long-standing role as Gold Partner and sponsor of the Leaders of Tomorrow. The program fosters leadership development among rising professionals with demonstrated potential, pairing them with senior executive mentors to address pressing strategic issues, promote cross-functional collaboration, and build global peer networks.

“The RGA Leaders of Tomorrow program is a powerful catalyst for shaping the insurance industry’s most promising talent into impactful leaders,” said Josh Landau, President of the International Insurance Society (IIS). “Our enduring partnership with RGA reflects a profound, shared commitment to cultivating the next generation of leadership. More than a celebration of mentorship, this initiative represents a strategic investment in the long-term sustainability, innovation, and resilience of our industry.”

"For more than a decade, RGA's sponsorship of the Leaders of Tomorrow Program has demonstrated our unwavering commitment to nurturing exceptional talent in the insurance sector," stated Tony Cheng, President and Chief Executive Officer of RGA. “Through personalized mentorship, peer networking, and exposure to industry insights, we equip emerging leaders with the tools to improve their leadership abilities. We're empowering these promising professionals to not only navigate tomorrow's complex challenges but also guide others, driving innovation and success across the industry.”

Within the program, each mentee conducts research and presents an original paper. Based on their research and paper, one outstanding program participant is recognized with the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow Award, and three mentees will be selected to join a signature panel discussion entitled “Next Generation Leadership.”

Beyond the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow, the 2025 Global Insurance Forum will explore the theme of “Navigating the Future of Risk,” featuring insights from over 40 global executives and thought leaders. Topics include the following:
