Ep 59 Jean-Jacques Henchoz CEO Hannover Re: Lean and keen

Today’s guest is a year and a half into a role running the best
performing major reinsurer of the past 15 years. Hannover Re has
been a business that has managed to grow profitably in hard and
soft markets alike, maintaining a lean structure and keeping
underwriting and rigorous capital management to the fore. With a
global market hardening in full swing and one of the most
important 1.1 renewals in decades to navigate, I asked
Jean-Jacques Henchoz to outline his plans for Hannover Re in a
radically changing reinsurance landscape. Along the way I found a
charismatic leader who is looking to strike a balance between
reinforcing Hannover’s core strengths and underwriting culture
while at the same time gently pushing it to adapt and prepare for
the future. I enjoyed my time with Jean-Jacques and the insights
he gave into Hannover Re’s strategy for 2021 and beyond and I
think you will too.
