Today’s guest is Richard Milner, CEO of Chaucer Group.
Chaucer is a global specialty insurance and reinsurance institution with a great pedigree and significant scale, both inside and outside the Lloyd’s market.
Richard is coming up for two years in post as CEO and is beginning to make his mark on the business’s long-term strategy.
Richard has had the sort of underwriting career that makes him a very relatable guest. He worked his way up from photocopying slips at a Lloyd’s box to travelling the insurance world.
Now he’s in senior management he’s easy to talk to because he’s still unambiguously an underwriter to his core.
As a result this interview is really down-to-earth and practical in focus. In it Richard lays out his five-year plan for Chaucer and we dissect the issues of the day in great detail and variety, ranging from how rates and business flows are holding up in a more competitive market, to an assessment of AI as a new emerging peril and potential new line of business.
Richard is great company and I can highly recommend a listen.
