Gallagher Power Broker winner Sarah Palmer highlights creative life science coverage
Her profile describes work on rare-disease treatments with patient-specific manufacturing and added exposure during production or transit.
Risk & Insurance is featuring Sarah Palmer, a Gallagher Power Broker winner, in its “Brilliance in Focus” series as it expands coverage of Power Broker winners and finalists. Palmer’s background includes growing up in a multi-generational family of pharmacists, along with an interest in pharmaceutical development and risk-benefit debates. In the profile, she also credits a learning focused approach on the job, saying her lack of a formal science background helps her approach issues with curiosity and can help uncover exposures that might otherwise be overlooked. In one example of the coverage work she handles, Palmer described a rare-disease research client whose drug product depends on a manufacturing process unique to each patient. She said that setup creates significant exposure if the product is damaged during manufacturing or transit, requiring creative coverage solutions when standard underwriters were hesitant.
