Ep245 Lucy Clarke: Sleeves Rolled Up

The Voice of Insurance

Today’s guest is making a return to the show after a three-year gap.
That’s way too long for me because the last time she was on the podcast she made such a strong impression that I described her as a dream interviewee.
But there are good reasons for the gap – not least a year’s gardening leave as she moved to take on one of the biggest jobs in broking.
Luckily for all of us Lucy Clarke, President of Risk and Broking at WTW is back on the show.
She’s still the dream interviewee and given her important new role and Willis’s re-stated ambitions to restore the sheen to this historical jewel in the global broking crown, she’s more of a dream guest than ever.
This podcast doesn’t disappoint. In this interview I found Lucy on top form, fully established in her new role and clearly revelling in the task in hand.
Here we unpick all of Willis’s strategy, from it’s ambitious return to reinsurance to its audacious digital broking initiatives, and we put all this in the wider context of Lucy’s extraordinarily broad view of the market’s ebbs and flows as well as its permanent structural changes and external opportunities and threats, such as those presented by AI
Nothing was off the menu and with Lucy what you see is what you get – her drive and passion are always on display.
Here’s someone with their sleeves rolled up and clearly enjoying a dream job scenario unfolding in front of them.
