Ep225 Greg Hohman CUO Munich Re Specialty Insurance: Reacting to Disruption

Today’s guest is in an enviable position – this is because he
works for one of the most mature and trusted brands in the global
insurance food chain, but is leading the underwriting at a
segment of that business that is only just five years old and is
still building out and growing fast.


Greg Hohman is the Chief Underwriting Officer of Munich Re
Specialty Insurance and has a very special vantage point from
which to survey the US market.


This conversation is full of valuable pointers on where the US
P&C market is heading.


In it we dissect the Excess and surplus lines (E&S) boom,
whether parts of the market are peaking and how much of the shift
into this segment is cyclical and how much is permanent.


We also delve deep into the shift in distribution with the
continued rise of MGAs and hybrid carriers and examine the
question of how Artificial Intelligence might best be harnessed
in the insurance value chain.


But this is also a very well-rounded conversation in which Greg
explains how he got into insurance and shares his best career
advice.


Greg is smart, straightforward and really enjoyable company and
time spent with him flies by quickly.


So over the next thirty-five minutes you’ll learn an awful lot,
but I think you’ll also make a very knowledgeable new friend in
the industry.
