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.
