Episode 17 - Bronek Masojada - Hiscox

Bronek Masojada is Chief Executive of Hiscox. Hiscox is a leading global insurance firm with over 2,700 people across 32 offices in 14 different countries. Following 4 years working for McKinsey & Co Bronek was offered the opportunity to become Managing Director of Hiscox at just 31 (something we go in to detail on in today’s show) and under his leadership the firm has grown from one office of 200 people to the global firm it is today. Whether your goal is to climb to the top of your consulting firm or take the step out in to industry there's so much you can take away from Bronek’s insights and advice. Bronek was kind enough to give me a huge amount of time out of his busy schedule to share his knowledge, learnings and advice with you and I know you’re going to get so much from what he has to say. We cover a whole range of topics in this conversation including: The surprising story of how Bronek found himself being offered the role of Managing Director at such a young age. The challenges he faced moving from Consulting in to this role and how he overcame them How he has taken Hiscox to where it is today and his advice on scaling a business How Bronek achieves a good work life balance as the CEO of a global, publicly traded, company – He leaves work earlier than most consultants would ever dream of!
