Share with your interviewer your experience working in a cross-functional environment and how you view every person who works in the company as part of your team, even if you've never met them. Travelers advertises that "through cross-functional initiatives, online certification courses, and team collaboration, you'll hone the skills you need to influence strategy and approach."

I believe when expectations are communicated clearly from the beginning, a cross-functional team project can be very successful. I go into these types of projects with an understanding that everyone has their own strengths and limitations based on their expertise and job function."
