Ep146 Alex Blanco CEO Vantage Insurance: Seeking the intellectually curious and mentally ambidextrous

Today’s guest is Alex Blanco, CEO of Vantage Insurance. Alex has
been dealt a rare hand in the insurance world, because he has had
the chance to build something from scratch with no legacy. What
would you do if you could start a specialist insurance business
from a clean piece of paper, and in a pretty favourable insurance
market environment?  What lines would you start with? How
would you use technology? Would you stick to the E&S market
or would you add admitted capabilities? How would you approach
alternative distribution such as MGAs? Would you go
international? These are the core questions at the heart of this
podcast and Alex puts his multi-decade executive experience to
providing the answers. Alex is a great guest and this is a really
robust and far-reaching conversation. I can highly recommend a
listen. LINKS We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo:
