Howden Re CEO Tim Ronda recently appeared on The Voice of Insurance podcast to share his perspective on the current state and future direction of the reinsurance sector. During the discussion, Ronda emphasized the importance of people in driving business success at Howden Re.
“Our story is built on the talented people we have accumulated - it is their ability to drive client growth and give a different type of service that creates lasting impact. When we get people right, revenue follows naturally,” said Ronda.
He also highlighted the need for balance and cooperation among all parties involved in reinsurance transactions. “There are three parties to a deal - the original cedant, the reinsurer and then there’s the broker - and for the market to be fully functioning, it’s got to work for all three parties,” he explained.
Ronda addressed how upcoming years may present challenges as well as opportunities within the industry. “In 2026 and 2027, management teams are going to earn their money because they’re going to have to be selective and intelligent about where they choose to grow,” he said.
