Ep209 Andy Holmes CEO CFC Underwriting: Look after the loss ratio & everything else looks after itself

Top-tier MGA CFC Underwriting has undergone some very
well-publicised leadership changes in the last few months and
Andy Holmes is the business’s newly-appointed CEO, so I’m
delighted to have him on the show as this week’s guest.


Andy’s been part of this organisation since very early in its
remarkable growth story and was previously its Chief Underwriting
Officer, so he knows the business inside and out.


Nothing was off the table in this discussion, so we started where
we needed to, but soon got swept away in a whirlwind of M&A,
new product launches and insights into the world of cyber,
embedded insurance, parametric covers and, of course, Artificial
Intelligence.


Andy is incredibly engaging and easy to talk to and in this
podcast he reveals a huge amount of accumulated insurance
business wisdom and fills in many details about CFC’s original
and highly successful insurance philosophy.


Listening back to this interview it’s clear that although CFC
might have had big changes at the top, it’s definitely not
slowing down and its body corporate and innovative culture remain
as effective and worth studying as ever.


NOTES: We mention Ciaran Martin, who is former CEO of the UK’s
National Cyber Security Centre and chairs the Technical Committee
of the Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC). The CEO of the CMC is
William Mayes.
