Ep 97 Stefan Golling: If we don’t achieve our margins now why should we stay?

It really matters what today’s guest thinks. This is because he
has one of the biggest and most influential underwriting and
insurance and reinsurance management jobs in the world. Stefan
Golling serves on Munich Re's Board of Management and until
recently was its Chief Underwriter. He also looks after Global
Clients, the North America Division and oversees HSB and American
Modern as well as the Lloyd’s and Bermuda markets. What I enjoy
about talking to Stefan is his disarming frankness. He speaks
very clearly for someone in such an elevated position in our
industry. In our chat we cover everything anyone would want to
know ahead of the first of January 2022 renewals. Up until now
many have described reinsurers as a relatively benign influence,
content to ride on the coat-tails of their cedants as they
remediated their books and brought pricing back into line. Now
I’ll leave you to decide if this is just a little bravado on
Stefan’s part ahead of upcoming renewal negotiations, but from
this encounter I would expect to see reinsurers digging in a
little more than they have been up until now. LINKS We thank our
