To foster expansion, the newly appointed CEO of Lloyd's of London must exhibits no mercy.
Rewritten Article:
Lloyd's of London is on the brink of a major transformation, and new guy Patrick Tiernan is the man to do it, according to Sheila Cameron, CEO of the Lloyd's Market Association (LMA). In her eyes, Tiernan and Charles Roxburgh, the new Lloyd's CEO and chair, are the perfect duo to take the iconic insurance market forward.
The London insurance market, with Lloyd's at its core, has seen rapid growth over the years. From contributing 20% of the City's GDP in 2016 to being responsible for 33% today, Lloyd's and the greater London market have a substantial impact on the UK economy. But with increased competition, it's important to build on this success, and that's where Tiernan comes in.
So, what does the LMA want from Lloyd's new top team? Sheila Cameron suggests five must-haves:
First and foremost, the new leaders must be ruthless in maintaining underwriting discipline to ensure the market reaches its full potential. Profitable underwriting over the insurance cycle is crucial, but so is allowing managing agents the freedom to innovate within a strong framework.
Second, Lloyd's needs to remain attractive to capital, with a focus on innovative solutions for new and existing capital, and a compelling value proposition for the various types of capital invested.
Third, the ongoing journey towards simplification and digitisation must continue. By embracing artificial intelligence and data, the market can not only reduce costs but also evolve towards predicting and preventing loss.
Fourth, the drive towards principles and outcomes-based oversight must persist, with The Prudential Regulation Authority, The Financial Conduct Authority, and Lloyd's themselves working together to create a competitive environment with strong foundations and the freedom to innovate.
Finally, the new team needs to champion a world-class culture across the market to attract top talent from around the globe.
To create the most compelling global platform of the 2030s, the LMA aims to work closely with Lloyd's, ensuring the market thrives for insurers, brokers, policyholders, and most importantly, its people. By working together, the LMA believes they can make Lloyd's the best it can be for all of its stakeholders.
