Todays’ Episode was a joy to make.
It was a face-to-face meeting that crackled from the moment my interviewee walked through the door and shook my hand all the way through to a swift exit to a pressing engagement.
As I was tidying cables and packing away my microphones into their case, I already knew this was going to be a really strong Episode. Now that I’ve had a listen back for the final run-through I know it to be the case.
They say the best leaders embody their businesses and if that is true Howden Re should be absolutely buzzing along because this encounter with that business’s CEO Tim Ronda highlights someone bursting with confidence, smarts, charisma, energy and something else that we don’t see so often – genuine happiness.
Tim is clearly enjoying himself in his role.
The podcast covers all the issues of the day in the reinsurance market and quite a lot more besides. Discussions about M&A, Casualty, AI and even the competitive reinsurance broking landscape all make an appearance.
Also, despite running a reinsurance broker that has reached such a size and scale that it can no longer be referred to as a challenger and is still growing at pace, Tim doesn’t tend to engage that regularly with the media.
Given what you are about to hear, I think that’s probably a mistake but I ‘m also grateful that Tim has given The Voice of Insurance an outsized allocation of his rare press time.
As the nights draw in I can highly recommend this episode as a warming and energising tonic. It’ll bring you right up to date, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.
