Oman Re successfully hosted the inaugural Insurance Leadership Roundtable on Sunday, 28 September 2025, at the W Hotel, Muscat. The landmark event brought together the CEOs and top executives of Oman’s insurance sector for an evening of dialogue, foresight and collaboration.

Themed “Future-Proofing Organizations in the Era of AI”, the roundtable was led by Professor Hernan Bruno, Professor of Marketing and Digital Environment at the University of Cologne, Germany. Drawing on more than 15 years of global executive education experience, Prof. Bruno guided participants through key themes shaping the future of insurance: technological momentum, organizational change, decentralization and automation, and customer centricity.

In his opening remarks, Romel Tabaja, CEO of Oman Re, underscored the purpose of this initiative as a platform for collective industry engagement. “The Insurance Leadership Roundtable reflects our steadfast commitment to advancing Oman’s insurance market through collaboration, foresight and innovation. As the industry undergoes rapid transformation driven by artificial intelligence and digital technologies, it is essential that we come together, exchange insights and chart strategies that ensure resilience and growth,” said Mr. Tabaja

The evening workshop was followed by a networking dinner, offering insurance leaders an opportunity to deepen connections and explore shared strategies for navigating the evolving digital risk landscape.

The Insurance Leadership Roundtable will serve as an annual platform under Oman Re’s leadership, designed to foster strategic dialogue and support the sustainable development of Oman’s insurance sector.
