Episode description

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast.   

This week I was lucky enough to be joined by Marco Del Carlo   https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcodelc...   

Marco is CEO and Founder of Capacity Place.   https://capacityplace.com/ 

Capacity place is a marketplace that brings together interested parties seeking capacity with businesses looking to provide capacity. It's a brilliantly simple solution to a problem that in my role as a headhunter I have personally experienced.   

This was a great conversation that covered a wide range of topics:  

• Marcos path into insurance from management consultancy
• The inefficiency of Lloyd's market and therefore opportunities ( I miss the suitcases)
• The evolution of the banking and hedge fund market and whats it means to the insurance market
• Algorithmic trading
• Setting up an MGA
• Choosing the right partners for starting a business and having clear objectives
• Setting the right criteria for growth
• Building networks
• Finding you are a salesman when you don't think you are
• Discovering "The Idea" and knowing when to commit to it full time
• The different objectives of carriers: distribution vs margin
• How simple ideas are the best
• Transparent market places and building robust, secure marketplaces 
• How to grow a  business with multiple customer segments
• Timing in an acquisition is everything 

And much more in between.  

This is a really interesting chat with an engaging founder with a great business concept.
