How Catastrophe Models Work and Where They Fall Short With Anil Vasagiri
About this episode
Anil Vasagiri discusses the workings and limitations of catastrophe models in the context of climate risk.
This episode is part of a series of live conversations recorded at Climate Tech Connect 2026 in Washington, D.C. Anil Vasagiri, Head of Risk Data Solutions at Swiss Re is a rare combination of technical depth and commercial perspective to catastrophe risk — he came up through Verisk, where he held senior roles in product management and data strategy, before joining Swiss Re in 2020. Since then, he's led the development of some of the industry's most sophisticated tools for understanding physical risk at the location level, including Swiss Re's acquisition of flood modeling firm Fathom.
