It’s a long time since legacy was a dusty dead end of the insurance industry where old underwriters went to eke out the remains of their days before retirement.
And at the same time it’s been a long time since the era when fronting was seen as a bit of a dirty secret of the industry.
These days both segments have matured and taken up their rightful place in the insurance ecosystem.
But it’s rare to meet someone so well qualified and quite so dynamic driving a business that is in both of these spaces.
William Spiegel the Executive Chairman of R&Q is someone with an impeccable resumé as an investor in some blue-chip start-ups in our sector over the past two decades.
And because of that he brings a fresh and very insightful perspective to our industry.
I was really interested to find out why someone like him has decided to come and work on the inside of a mature business at this time.
The answers are all here in the podcast as William describes two fascinating and uncorrelated high-growth profitable business opportunities in our sector.
William is full of energy and drive and it runs all the way through the podcast.
I never thought these segments could sound exciting but William tells a compelling story and the combination of his ruthless business logic and his infectious enthusiasm is a winning one.
