Zia Zaman, Beaver Lake Capital - A longer, happier, thicker, and fuller life for you and your family (S2E8)
As the CEO of LumenLab, MetLife Asia’s innovation centre, Zia has spent the last six years steering the company’s innovation agenda across the region and around the world, with a passion for finding new ways to help the under-served. Globally, LumenLab delivered over 70 projects and won many awards addressing the health, aging, and wealth needs of Asia-based consumers. Zia was also the Chairperson for Diversity & Inclusion for Asia.
Before insurance, Zia spent 22 years in the software and tech/telecoms industry with a couple of exits including FAST (sold to Microsoft). Zia has been a frequent keynote speaker on matters relating to inclusion and innovation at WEF Davos, IIF, Global Summit for Women, Milken, InsurTech Connect, and elsewhere. Much of his inspiration for new thinking sprouted on the two campuses where he studied, Stanford and MIT.
As a writer, he has written about parenting, probability, travel, culture, and hockey. Zia is on the Board of the Energy Market Authority of Singapore and a Fellow in the Aspen Institute’s First Mover fellowship.
Zia shares the lessons learned for Insurers and InsurTechs from his time leading LumenLab, discusses what the future of insurance might look like, and how he is transitioning into his new role in building an ESG advisory & investment business as the Managing Partner of Beaver Lake Capital.
