Ep 86 Philip Smaje and Marcel Chad of Piiq Risk Partners: Specialty risks need specialty brokers

Today’s guests are the executives behind the fast-growing
specialist aviation broker start-up Piiq Risk Partners. In a very
short space of time Philip Smaje CEO [picture left] and Marcel
Chad President [picture right] have put Piiq on the front pages
of the trade press with some eye-popping household name client
wins. In a time of seemingly permanent consolidation and the
homogenisation of so much of the intermediary market, theirs is a
story that I think will inspire many brokers. People, connections
specialist knowledge and expertise and an ultra-client focused
approach are clearly still incredibly important. Listen on for
the secrets of their early successes and what drives their
business, an honest assessment of the impending acquisition of
their parent company Corant Global by Ardonagh and a frank
analysis of the state of the aviation market.


Philip is the first of the two to speak.
