Today’s podcast is one of the most fast-moving and broad-ranging I have recorded in seven years of the Voice of Insurance.
For instance, today’s guest links running an insurer on Native AI infrastructure, Takaful insurance and the application of parametric insurance to almost every peril, with ambitions to grow his own reinsurance balance sheet and a medium-term goal to return to the Lloyd’s market with what he has built.
As you will gather Mark Groenheide, the CEO and President of LIRG isn’t built exactly like all the rest of us.
Following a classical insurance upbringing, with underwriting stints at the sorts of blue-chip carriers one might expect to see on a standard resumé, Mark’s career has since blossomed to embrace imaginative thinking, change and insurance and reinsurance innovation in myriad forms.
Mark’s enthusiasm is infectious and at points I am sure he will have you nodding in agreement with his views about making insurance better as a product and far more relevant to the world and more effective solving its problems than it is today.
This is a fascinating discussion with an insurance Renaissance Man that might inspire you to try something new in your own career.
So if you’re feeling a bit jaded, I challenge you to listen to this and not feel re-energised and refreshed.
My only caveat is to make sure you’ve had your coffee because this is at times a breathless conversation. Listen on and you’ll definitely hear me trying to keep up with Mark as he puts me through my paces.
I had a lot of fun and you definitely will too.
