This week’s Episode is a burst of energy.
Jason Howard is President of Acrisure International and has the task of looking after everything in the Acrisure Group that is outside the US, Reinsurance and Wholesale.
This means most of the world is effectively his oyster. A group as ambitious and fast-moving as Acrisure needs someone with enormous drive and enthusiasm to deliver on such a universal role and Jason is the embodiment of that.
In this podcast Jason explains Acrisure’s global end-to-end insurance strategy in great detail – from a retail broker anywhere in the world all the way to Lloyd’s Syndicates and the capital markets.
This makes for an incredibly broad and rich conversation.
Naturally we talk about the role of strategic M&A in building a global network, but we also discuss the market and how a business like Acrisure can differentiate itself by joining up the global value chain and making it work more responsively and more efficiently.
We also dissect the less tangible questions of corporate culture and the industry’s developing relationship with technology and automated underwriting in general and AI in particular.
The business’s explosive growth record speaks for itself – as does Jason.
I first met Jason in an underwriter’s queue over thirty years ago – I can verify that if anything today he has more energy, enthusiasm and positivity than he did back then as a young man.
It’s infectious.
I promise that the next half an hour will pass by very quickly and in it you will learn exactly what makes Acrisure International tick and a lot more besides.
