Description

What does it take to turn a family-run insurance group into a global powerhouse?

That’s the question HW Kaufman is tackling head-on. The parent company of RB Jones and Burns & Wilcox has global ambitions—and it’s brought in international CEO Paul Greensmith to lead the charge.

In this episode of Behind the Headlines, Greensmith shares how he’s driving strategic growth in key markets like London and Dubai, and why he’s doubling down on lead underwriting rather than playing in the commoditized follow space. He also hints at the potential for a future Lloyd’s platform.

Plus, following a wave of disruption in the broking world, Insurance Insider’s Adam McNestrie unpacks Howden’s bold play for the US retail market.
