Ep230 Bill O'Farrell, CEO Premia Holdings: Moving to a more repeatable business model

Today’s guest is a longstanding executive with an incredibly
strong resumé who is running one of the legacy sector’s most
respected outfits.


Bill O’Farrell is CEO of Premia Holdings and as such has an
excellent overview of this rapidly maturing segment of the
market.


In the podcast Bill and I look at the state of the legacy market
and how it is likely to be interacting with the live market going
forward.


At a time when the live market is undergoing one of its periodic
crises of confidence in US casualty, it is particularly valuable
to talk to someone who has spent much of his career making a
living out of taking on and managing long-tail liabilities of all
complexions.


We also examine how the structure of the legacy market is
evolving towards a partnership model in which repeat transactions
with live market counterparties are much more likely than in the
past.


We also look at innovation and the best applications for AI
within legacy as well as the prospects for an important role for
the sector to play in the nascent casualty ILS market.


Bill’s not only incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, but
he’s also very easy-going and really enjoyable company and the
next half an hour will pass by very quickly. LINKS: We thank our
