Ep235 Dieter Winkel, President, Liberty Mutual Re: A consistent view of the market

Today’s guest can boast a 40-year career in the reinsurance
business and now leads a global reinsurer with around $3bn in
gross written premium and approximately 250 employees. Dieter
Winkel is President of Liberty Mutual Re and this podcast is very
timely, given its positioning just ahead of the key 1.1
reinsurance renewal season. Dieter is everything you want in a
reinsurer: experienced, probably unshockable and very measured
and consistent, as well as being easy to talk to. In this Episode
we cover all the major issues affecting the global reinsurance
market, from the general state of the market cycle, and trends in
global specialty, property and casualty and retro all the way
through cyber to the burgeoning world of parametrics and the best
applications of AI in reinsurance. This a very enjoyable
interview with a consummate reinsurance professional, who has
lived through multiple market cycles and is an excellent
communicator and great company to boot. LINKS: We thank our
