Ep 25 Build me a reinsurance broker: Tim Gardner of Lockton Re

Tim Gardner is the relatively new CEO of Lockton Re and has been tasked by the Lockton group with building up a challenger reinsurance broking operation of significant scale. The MMC-JLT and now Aon-Willis M&A activity has given this venture a significant timing boost and there is a palpable sense of a once in a generation opportunity for independents to stake their claim on a share of this lucrative global market. I quizzed Tim on every aspect of his strategy to make Lockton Re a credible new player in the reinsurance broking space. He was clear and forthright in all his answers, so I commend this episode to anyone looking to get an inside view of the current reinsurance intermediary landscape.
