Episodio 6: Lifetime Partners
We’re in the Prague of the early 20th century. We sneak into the room of a young man. He’s working as a clerk for Generali, and he’s writing to his father about his hopes and dreams. That man is Franz Kafka and that letter is stored in the company's archives, in Trieste. This is where we begin our journey into the role of the agent: how was it historically perceived? How did it change over the years? We spoke with Carmen Martinez, winner of The Global Agent Excellence Contest, Renso Vazquez, also winner for the category Young Lion, and Isabelle Conner, Generali’s Group Chief Marketing & Customer Officer.

On June 24th 1988, the New York Times ran a story that made history.

Episodio 4: Rising like a Phoenix
Federico Garcea is an entrepreneur who quit his steady bank job to start his own company. The idea was to sell people the chance to plant a tree in a remote place, supporting local communities and helping fight deforestation. Now he has a team of more than 50 people and a community of millions of users. Treedom is just one of the companies that were supported by Generali within the framework of Fenice 190, a 3,5 billion euros investment programme that will be deployed in the next 5 years and that will contribute to the European economic recovery. A concrete demonstration of Generali’s ability to overcome moments of discontinuity and profound renovation, to protect and help the economy and society rise from the ashes into a new life, just like the phoenix that gives its name to the Group’s initiative.In this episode, we delve into this idea of “starting over” in the name of sustainability with Aldo Mazzocco, CEO of Generali Real Estate and Chairman of the Fenice 190 steering Committee, and Nathalie Tocci, Honorary Professor at the University of Tübingen in Germany, and Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali.
Not so many companies in the world can take pride in a business that is 190 years old. Having lived through the three centuries during which modernity took shape, Generali has built a unique heritage of knowledge, experience, relations and business initiatives. With the podcast 190 Years of Future, Generali looks back at its history and at its long-standing commitment to sustainability, inclusion, diversity and innovation that has constantly been projected into the future. A commitment that has always been about engagement, passion and dedication to shape a better future for all. Our guide through this journey will be American journalist Jennifer Clark. She will bring to you the voices from Generali's offices and from the communities where the Company is active: the voices of its entrepreneurs, partners, and customers.
