In his own words he has walked something of a squiggly career path that has brought him to his current position as Chief Underwriting Officer at Lloyd\u2019s stalwart MS Amlin.<\/p>\n<p>But having walked all the bends in the road to get where he is now has made Martin an extremely well-rounded CUO.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obvious none of his time spent on reserving, pricing and in the finance and risk departments has gone to waste. To re-run the clich\u00e9, actuaries aren\u2019t famous for being great communicators, but that just makes the ones who are stand out.<\/p>\n<p>Martin has the gift of the gab and that makes him a high value guest to someone like me.<\/p>\n<p>An interviewee who can understand and, more importantly, summarise and explain complicated ideas in a way that laypeople can understand, is podcasting gold dust.<\/p>\n<p>And when that person is also responsible for profitably growing a \u00a32bn (US$2.5bn) book in today\u2019s market, this makes for a complete and satisfying listen.<\/p>\n<p>Here we run through MS Amlin\u2019s strategy in an evolving market and take in Martin\u2019s views on an eclectic range of topics, including the impacts of the latest major loss activity on insurer and reinsurer appetites, the best applications of technology and Ai, as well as his priorities for where he feels the London Market should be developing as a collective as the leadership regime at Lloyd\u2019s transitions.<\/p>\n<p>I think you\u2019ll find Martin fun to spend time with and full of surprises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS:<br \/><\/strong>We thank our naming sponsor\u00a0<strong>AdvantageGo<\/strong>:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantagego.com\/\">https:\/\/www.advantagego.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 hours ago Today is a first.
