Ep211 Alex Maloney Lancashire: We’ve done what we said we would do

I can’t believe it’s been three-and-a-half years since I had Alex Maloney on the podcast for a full episode to himself.

We’ve had brief catch-ups at Monte Carlo and when we bump into each other in the London Market, but I haven’t had time with Alex properly devoted to understanding what he and the Lancashire Group is thinking.

A huge amount has happened since we last spoke, not least Lancashire’s entry into the Casualty Treaty arena and its decision to open up a new operation in the US Excess & Surplus lines market.

Alex is a great guest because he is one of the most direct and straight-talking people I have had on the show.

What you see is what you get.

And what we get here is a tour of global insurance and reinsurance market opportunities and what Lancashire is doing to make the most of them, with a minimum of fuss.

We also get a distillation of Lancashire’s strategy of managing selective growth while trying to preserve a small company mindset and culture and at the same time pitching something slightly different to industry talent.

It’s all substance and no spin.

Listen on and I promise you’ll learn an awful lot in a very short amount of time. You’ll also get to meet probably the straightest shooter running a public company in our sector.

NOTES:

I let the abbreviation TIV sneak through. It is a property term and stands for Total Insured Values.
