Ep162 Scott Egan CEO SiriusPoint: Re-establishing credibility in the marketplace

Sometimes CEOs can be a little evasive. Of course they’re nowhere
near as evasive as politicians, but, particularly if they are the
CEO of a public company, they do have to be quite careful what
they say to journalists. That can make interviews with them a
little unengaging. All this makes today’s guest a real breath of
fresh air. SiriusPoint’s various twists and turns in strategy and
changes in senior management have made it a little hard to follow
in the last couple of years. Was the firm a hedge fund reinsurer
or was it a hybrid venture capital-style incubator and investor?
Or was it actually a fairly traditional international specialist
insurance and reinsurance business? In the past it may well have
been all three of these and more, all at once. But Scott Egan is
here to do something about all of that. Relatively quickly into
the role he has acted decisively and communicated very clearly
what his plan for the business is going forward. This podcast
lays everything out really concisely. Scott let me ask all the
questions I wanted to ask and answered them all very clearly
where he could. So if you’ve been scratching your head about what
Siriuspoint’s strategy has been all about, allow 35 minutes of
Scott’s straight talking to make things clear. Scott’s incredibly
direct and engaging and his communication couldn’t be more plain.
It’s disarming and refreshing and I highly recommend a listen.
