Ep149 Adrian Cox CEO Beazley: High Risk & High Reward

I’m delighted to say that todays’ guest is a returning visitor
and he returns very much the insurance executive of the moment.
Adrian Cox is the CEO of Beazley which since we last spoke has
cemented its reputation as the most dynamic and pioneering of the
London-headquartered global specialty insurers and reinsurers.
Late in 2022 Beazley raised fresh capital to deploy into the hard
reinsurance market. It did this in an environment when almost
nobody else could get financing away. And just as we were about
to do the recording the firm announced it had placed the first
ever Cyber cat bond. So perhaps understandably Adrian was
absolutely buzzing in this episode. The firm’s core markets have
all reset and Beazley’s positions within them look extremely
attractive In this crackling podcast we cover the market resets
in property reinsurance, specialty and cyber classes and where
Beazley fits in with them, as well as the ongoing ESG transition,
the prospects for rising tech efficiencies in insurance and the
emergence of new ways of working in the post-pandemic world.
