Ep 22 Casualty, Capital and Covid with Jason Howard CEO of Beach

I first met this episode’s interviewee in the queue for a Latin
American treaty underwriter back in 1993 and have been
interviewing him as an insurance journalist since 2005.


It probably shows in this encounter. Jason Howard, CEO of Beach
& Associates is a great person to talk to.


He has had a long career as a business leader and more
importantly he is a big personality who always says exactly what
he thinks, even if this occasionally gets him into hot water.


Here of course we talk about covid-19 and how the June renewals
are going to be crucial, but we have a long discussion about the
crunch in the casualty market, the future for independent
distribution in the post MMC-JLT, Aon-Willis environment and the
best parts of the future at Lloyd’s reform programme.


If you want strong, direct views on the state of the market, look
no further!
