Keynote Speakers Announced for ReSource Pro’s Summit 2025

ReSource Pro has announced the keynote speakers for Summit 2025, its premier client event set for April 22–24 at The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida. Summit 2025 brings together its fast-growing client community of insurance leaders and frontline experts — from carriers, retailers, and MGA/wholesalers — to draw insights from across the evolving landscape of insurance operations, technology, and strategy.

The speakers announced today include Josh Linkner, a New York Times best-selling author, five-time tech entrepreneur, and U.S. Presidential Champion of Change award recipient; Kerri Strug, Olympic gold medalist and iconic gymnast known for her legendary performance at the 1996 Olympics; and Michael Schachtner, Ph.D., managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

• Insurance Industry Outlook: Schachtner routinely works with Fortune 500 insurers to implement AI-driven strategies, agile methodologies, and modernization initiatives. His keynote, “Insurance Outlook 2025: Charting the Path Forward,” will provide a data-driven view of the insurance landscape today, offering practical insights on AI, emerging technologies, and operational transformation.
• Technology & Applied AI: Linkner, a tech entrepreneur and venture capital investor, has built and sold five companies for a combined value exceeding $200 million. His keynote, “Innovation in the Age of AI,” will focus on how businesses can harness creativity, and unconventional thinking, alongside AI, to drive growth and navigate disruption.
• Leadership Lessons in Grit: Strug is best known for her legendary vault at the 1996 Olympics, where she secured a gold victory for Team USA despite an injured ankle. Her keynote will explore the importance of resilience, determination, and performing under pressure, lessons that apply to both sports and the business of insurance.

In addition to these three keynotes, Summit 2025 will feature speakers from across the insurance industry, including but not limited to leaders from Zurich North America, Munich Re Specialty Insurance, AmTrust Group, Builders Insurance Group, CopperPoint Insurance Companies, The Baldwin Group, EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, Embroker, Specialty Program Group (SPG), HUB International, Ascend, Newfront Insurance, CoAction Specialty Group, Qualitas Insurance, Applied Systems, and InsurTech NY.

"As the industry evolves, staying ahead means learning from within our industry, from outside experts, and from each other," said Beth Taylor, senior vice president of marketing and communications at ReSource Pro. "Summit 2025 brings together a unique community across the ecosystem, with insurance specific content that goes beyond the abstract. It offers early access to new research, specific tech and operational case studies, and practical strategies rooted in experience. We see the big picture and know when to go deep."

“When I come to Summit, I'm reminded that we're not the only ones facing problems. We're talking and discussing with our peers and problem-solving. I walked away from a conversation with three pages of notes on onboarding and staff development, so it's a great resource," said Carlie Genova, vice president of operations at Western Pacific Insurance Inc.
