How do you build trust with business leaders so they bring you in early instead of after a decision is made?

COUNTRY has property and casualty companies, life companies and a trust bank. How does the regulatory picture differ across those three?

Walk me through how you would prepare the company for a state insurance department market conduct exam.

What they are checking: Whether they know how exams work in practice and how to get the business ready without scrambling.

A product team wants to file a new policy form in several states. What role do you play, and what slows filings down?
