What happens when one of the world's largest brokers and a digital-first underwriting platform team up to rethink risk trading? In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Sasa Brcerevic, Head of Portfolio and Delegated Strategy at Aon, and Ed Howkins, Chief Growth Officer at Artificial Labs. Together, they explore the evolving dynamics of wholesale broking, why now is the moment to digitise trading relationships and how insurers can stay competitive in a rapidly transforming landscape.

From the rise of underwriting-as-a-service to brokers leading platform innovation, this episode unpacks what insurers and brokers should be doing now to stay relevant. Key Talking Points Digitising the broker–underwriter interface: why transaction execution, not just placement admin, is the next frontier Strategic momentum: how digitisation moved from side project to boardroom priority across carriers and brokers Competitive catalysts: why fast movers are already capturing flow and shaping future adoption curves Platforms not portals: how Artificial is helping brokers remove friction while giving carriers underwriting optionality A new breed of carrier: exploring the shift from balance sheet-first models to digital risk transformation The data dividend: why data-rich submissions are changing how insurers allocate capital and differentiate themselves Incremental innovation: what makes today's efforts different from past false starts and what good adoption looks like Reimagining broking: how Aon is investing in technology to build its future operating model Sustainable advantage: why the biggest long-term gains lie in improving service, not just margin Time to jump in: why delaying digitisation could leave carriers and brokers on the outside looking in If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.

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 Willis 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.

The opportunities are vast. Hundreds and hundreds of companies with a physical presence here and the jobs to go with it. It's important that all Bermudians remember that we're not just competing within Bermuda and our small country, we're competing on a global scale”, says Kirsten.“We are an exceptionally well-educated island. It's critical there are opportunities for Bermudians. And that Bermudians can see themselves in the industry and see the example of other Bermudians. This is global level competition.”On the podcast this week, Kirsten tells how she's spent her entire 25-year career in Bermuda. With experience in broking and underwriting, Kirsten shares details of her double-headed role for Willis Towers Watson in Bermuda. “We have three teams in Bermuda, a Broking team, our Actuarial Consulting team and our Captives team. My geography leadership, I view it as accountability to them to make sure that we have the operations and the facilities, they need to run their businesses.The other hat I have, is leadership of our broking unit, the nuts and bolts on the insurance side.” Kirsten discusses the insurance ecosystem in Bermuda and states the only thing micro about the island is the geography. “There's a robust ecosystem that goes beyond just the underwriting roles or the broking roles. There are opportunities in actuarial captives, but there's also lawyers, accountants, marketing services that support this entire ecosystem and the Bermuda economy. Insurance and reinsurance and the supporting services are at the heart of it.”Kirsten shares WTW's future plans and working in the local Bermudian market, with its importance in the global marketplace. “We're in growth mode. We have new dynamic leadership in North America that's gotten us focused on growth and accountability. We're looking to reorganize ourselves along the industry focus that is core to how our clients manage and view their own risk. That really is at the core of our strategy. I find myself often having to translate Big Willis to Bermuda and translate Willis Bermuda to Big Willis as I call it. Our employment law isn't the same as in the US or UK. Our regulatory structures might not be exactly mirrored so that translation work can be time consuming.I really love that I've been given the platform to be able to do it. Having the seat at the table when you're little old Bermuda is exceptionally important because we are pretty core to being able to deliver on our promise and commitment to our clients.”Kirsten discusses her area of passion, something she battled with early on in her career. “It was hosting an underwriting meeting as a young underwriter. I was nervous. I had moments where I couldn't speak.For a confident, outspoken person not be able to use my voice because of the nervousness of being the center of attention in a speaking setting was a shock.“Me and a group of women got together. It started with a survey because, how many other women feel like this? And how do they grapple with it? We put out a survey to the market. Roughly 80% of women are nervous speakers. 80% of them avoid speaking as a result. Think of all that subject matter expertise that is lost because of nerves.” To combat this issue, Kirsten was involved in setting up ‘We Speak' to help women and teens in Bermuda to learn the value of public speaking and project their voices. “We are not insurance or reinsurance specific; we help develop their voice in whatever sphere is necessary for them. It could be giving a TED talk for one person, but for another, maybe someone more like me, it's just being able to host an underwriting meeting and ask your questions without going red in the face. It's meeting people where they are. We have a coaching approach, where we have one coach for every five women. It's an exceptionally
