Greg Hendrick is a dream guest. He’s smart, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but also really easy and fun to talk to.
He’s also still only in the fourth year of building out a major insurer, reinsurer and capital markets partner completely from scratch.
For Greg and Vantage Risk, time moves a lot faster and experience is accelerated and compressed compared to the rest of us.
There’s a huge amount to talk about and that’s why I was delighted to be able to spend so much time talking to him again.
Here we catch up on how Greg’s strategy has evolved against plan and get into great detail about the state of the market all the way across the insurance value chain.
But I’m glad we also spend a lot of time looking at how technology is shaping the future of underwriting and completely re-organising the way that we all work and interact with our colleagues day to day.
After all, not many people get to the chance use all their experience to design a whole new business from scratch following a contemporary Blueprint with no legacy issues to deal with.
Greg sounds like he’s really enjoying this opportunity and I think you’ll enjoy it too.
NOTES:
Greg mentions a Dinos. That is of course Dinos Iordanou, Vantage Risk’s non-executive Chairman.
