In this episode, Matthew Grant sits down with Matthew Eagle, Head of Global Model Solutions and Advisory at Guy Carpenter, to explore how one of the industry’s most respected voices sees the future of modelling, capital management and advisory in reinsurance.
With three decades of experience, Matthew reflects on what’s changed — and what hasn’t — in how reinsurers view risk. From the early days of catastrophe models to today’s generative AI agents and open modelling platforms, he shares how his team is helping insurers manage volatility, optimise capital and drive profitable growth.
In this episode, Matthew shares:
- Why flood, wildfire and severe convective storm are the perils to watch — and model — more closely
- How generative AI is already reshaping pricing, underwriting and actuarial workflows
- What insurers need to know about build vs buy when it comes to new analytics tools
- How Guy Carpenter is scaling open-source tech through Oasis and data standardisation
- What skills are now essential for new analysts entering the industry
- How AI agents are being used to replicate complex actuarial decisions in seconds
- Why “good enough” modelling still matters, and where precision can be a false economy
- The link between terrorism modelling and gaming engines — and what it signals for future innovation
