Ep190 Paul Brand, Convex: Execution is everything
Manage episode 386273970 series 2816664
Today’s episode is a real treat. That’s because I’m talking to an underwriter with encyclopaedic knowledge and over thirty-five years in the insurance industry.
But what makes this interview special is that I am talking to someone with huge experience but very specifically the opportunity to put all that experience into practice for a second time.
Paul Brand was Chief Underwriting Officer at Catlin for almost thirty years.
Just under five years ago he founded Convex Stephen Catlin, taking over the CEO role in in the summer of 2022.
Convex is proof that there’s nothing like knowing what to do and how to do it to help with speed of execution.
It took over 30 years to get Catlin group to a GWP of just under $6bn.
As Convex approaches its 5th birthday its likely to surpass $4bn in GWP this calendar year.
But listening back, this podcast is really about underwriting. It’s about how to be a good underwriter but more importantly how to build and scale an excellent underwriting business.
Paul Brand is someone who has spent most of his career outside the limelight and it’s really enjoyable to witness him moving to the centre stage and making his distinctive voice heard.
He’s very considered and thoughtful but at the same time full of dry humour.
He’s also incredibly generous with his time and highly tolerant of me and my constant questioning.
