Listening back to this conversation, I have rarely spoken to someone who carries themselves as naturally as she does. <br \/>I spoke to the same person before, during and after our recording. <br \/>What you hear is what you get and what you get is a very clear sense of how one of the Lloyd\u2019s market\u2019s most consistently successful businesses sees the market today, where it sees it heading and how it intends to engage. <br \/>This is a very well-rounded conversation. As one might expect, it\u2019s technical and financial but it\u2019s also technological, commercial, professional, passionate, personal and laced with humour.<br \/>Steph is highly engaging and is well across the core challenges facing the London and global specialty markets, from the opportunities arising from the internationalisation of the market to the impact of technological transformation and AI.<br \/>Talking to Steph made me feel a little old \u2013 but in a good way. Growing old isn\u2019t easy, but when people really don\u2019t enjoy getting old it\u2019s because they think that things are getting worse than they used to be, not better. <br \/>Forty-five minutes with Steph and the only conclusion is that many things are definitely getting better and the market\u2019s best days are ahead of, and not behind it. <br \/>LINKS:<br \/>We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantagego.com\/\">https:\/\/www.advantagego.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m really happy about today\u2019s podcast and that\u2019s because today\u2019s guest is a shining example of a new, very well-prepared generation of leaders that is coming through the ranks in the international insurance sector.
