Ep 77 Stephen Catlin & Paul Brand Convex: Being ready ahead of the market

Today’s guests head one the largest and best-placed new
businesses in the market. This is because it had a long
head-start on the class of 2020. Before the market turn became
obvious last year it already had $1.7bn in capital committed and
underwriting teams in place. Then with the hardening in full
swing it accelerated its growth plan and almost doubled that
capital base. Convex’s Chairman and CEO Stephen Catlin and Deputy
CEO Paul Brand have had impeccable timing and are looking to use
the benefit of all their long experience building Catlin into a
global specialty insurer and reinsurer to good use with their new
project. It’s clear from this interview that they intend to do
everything better, stronger and faster and what’s more they plan
to enjoy the journey more along the way. Here we dissect the
market opportunity for this very large legacy-free start-up from
every angle and leave no topic off the table. LINKS
