This week we’re joined by the head of corporate strategy at RenaissanceRe, Harold Buchanan. This technical episode dives into the specifics of reinsurance strategy, covering diversification, how companies might respond to shifting landscapes, and best practices for allocating resources and capital. The three reinsurance experts do, of course, engage in a fierce analogy battle to finish off the episode.
