Ep 44 Juan Andrade of Everest Re: An Underwriter’s market

Today’s guest is a bit of a coup for the Voice of Insurance. He
is the CEO of a $13bn top 10 reinsurance and specialty insurance
group that spans the full length of the insurance value chain.
Yet despite being a public company of great scale, until now it
hasn’t had much of a public profile. It’s previous CEOs were
notoriously publicity-shy but that’s about to change. Juan
Andrade has been in post since January and is starting to give
Everest Re a public profile that befits its size and relevance to
our market. Here we have a full discussion of the state of the
industry, changes in what investor appetite and how this is
driving what Juan describes as an underwriter’s market. We talk
about the class of 2020 and its prospects and of course the
immediate and potential effects of Covid-19 and how Everest is
positioning itself within all of this to take full advantage of
market conditions. Juan is a concise and precise communicator and
the next 20 or so minutes are packed with valuable information
and insight. I highly recommend a listen.
