Ep193 Julie Wood CEO QBE North America: Acting on the best available information

Today’s guest has just become the CEO of a business writing over
$7 billion in gross premium a year, which if it were a standalone
company, would make her one of the most powerful female CEOs in
the global insurance industry. This is a major business unit that
has been through a substantial amount of change and re-focusing
of strategy in recent times, but which is now well placed to
resume profitable growth as favourable market conditions
continue. The business is QBE North America and the executive is
Julie Wood. Julie has an insurance career in its third decade
with senior management experience in broking as well as
underwriting. This gives her a well-rounded perspective on all
facets of our industry and means that our discussion spans a
broad spectrum of what is happening in the North American
insurance market as well as everything that QBE is doing to
maximise its opportunity there Julie is really engaging and
down-to-earth and has a very approachable manner which helps fill
this podcast full of insights and candid exchanges. So if you are
looking for a detailed update on the largest insurance market in
the world from an important and dynamic participant in that
market, I can highly recommend a listen. We thank our naming
