Ep 87 Rod Fox & Rob Bredahl of TigerRisk: Don’t stop me now

When my notebook is put away and the microphones are switched
off, after a couple of drinks, people in the market often lament
the lack of personalities in the modern insurance and reinsurance
industry. They say that it’s just not like it used to be and that
massive consolidation has pushed the individual to the sidelines
within ever larger, ever more soulless corporations. Today’s
guests prove that not be true in any sense of the word. Rod Fox
(CEO) founded reinsurance broker and capital advisor TigerRisk
thirteen years ago and has been carving a place in the sector and
taking the big three brokers head on ever since. Two years ago
fellow reinsurance veteran Rob Bredahl joined the team as
President, reuniting the pair who had worked together at Benfield
in the early noughties. When I was organising this interview I
was worried that Rob might find it hard to make himself heard
because Rod is such a strong character. I needn’t have worried.
Their energy and camaraderie is palpable. They are also clearly
having the time of their lives, as a well-resourced and
aggressive TigerRisk looks to take full advantage of the
opportunities presenting themselves in a highly fluid reinsurance
and capital markets intermediary space. In this podcast we
dissect the state of the market and go into deep detail about how
Tiger is planning to double or possibly triple in size in the
next five years. LINKS We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo -
