Today's Episode is one of those interviews that give you a warm feeling of anticipation when you get it in the diary, then when you're researching and preparing the questions, you're really looking forward to it, and finally the recording itself session happens and it goes even better than you hoped. Now a couple of weeks later I have just listened back and I'm still smiling because this is something quite special and very different from the everyday. Richard Brindle and Clive Washbourn are two of the most celebrated underwriters of their generation and have each been on the podcast more than once in their own right. For the last five years Richard and Clive have been underwriting under the same group organisational roof in The Fidelis Partnership and Navium respectively. Richard even cited Clive's new-found joie de vivre at Navium as the inspiration for the bifurcation of Fidelis into the Fidelis Partnership and Pelagos. This podcast is only briefly about the grand issues of the day. My interviewees very quickly deal with these and then we start examining much more timeless and valuable questions. The core of this meeting is really a long discussion about what makes a good underwriter and then what makes a good underwriter a great one. We examine all of this in the context of the AI revolution and how to apply it to the business of outperforming in insurance underwriting. This is a masterclass that will teach you an awful lot. Along the way you'll also spend quality time with two of the market's strongest and most charismatic personalities. The result is an instant classic that provides a valuable listen for any insurance professional at any stage in their career. NOTES: At time of recording Fidelis Insurance Group had only just rebranded to Pelagos Insurance Capital, so if there is the odd slip of the tongue, be clear that we should have referred to Pelagos, and will definitely be doing so from now onwards. Richard mentions the Sharpe Ratio, which is an investment metric used to measure the relative volatility of the returns of a company. Events in Iran, the Gulf States and the Straits of Hormuz are incredibly volatile and have already changed fundamentally, even in the short time between recording this interview and its release date. Please keep yourself best informed by using up-to-the-minute news and intelligence sources. Finally Richard mentions that there are two charities. The Fidelis Foundation is The Fidelis Partnership's charity, and Richard's personal charity is called The Muriel Jones Foundation.

Today's guest has a job that is almost unique in the global insurance industry. That's because his organisation has been formed through a unique exercise that split a standard insurance company into an MGA in charge of underwriting and a balance sheet in charge of allocating capital to risk. All this means that Dan Burrows, Group CEO Pelagos Insurance Capital, is probably the only pure capital allocator in existence. There are lots of investors in the global insurance market, allocating capital to insurance companies, but they are many steps removed from the risk and are only likely to review their allocations annually. What's unique about Pelagos is that it is much closer to the underwriting process, reviewing risk and capital decisions in almost real time. To paraphrase economic terms, whereas most investors in insurance are macro, Pelagos is very much micro. It takes some unique qualities to pull this kind of thing off and that's what makes this podcast so fascinating. Dan is a unique character in a unique job with a unique perspective on the market and I'm sure that some of what you're about to hear will surprise you. In this podcast we examine the re-brand to Pelagos, the maturing of the long-term relationship with the Fidelis Partnership and diversification into other underwriting channels, the prospects for profitable trading as the market becomes more competitive, thoughts around carrier M&A, as well as the big questions such as the best applications of AI in insurance and the seemingly relentless advance of portfolio solutions underwriting. Dan is calm, softly-spoken and thoughtful, but is also razor-sharp and able to provide instant feedback or pushback. In short he strikes me as the ideal foil for smart, entrepreneurial underwriting teams. This is an engrossing and revealing encounter which I can I highly recommend to anyone. NOTES: Dan was too polite to correct my initial mispronunciation of Pelagos. The stress is on the first syllable, not the second.

The Halifax brand is being retired after more than 180 years — and Charlie Nunn says artificial intelligence is the reason why.The chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group told the Big Boss Interview that the way customers discover financial products has fundamentally changed. Increasingly, people are asking AI tools and large language models to find the best mortgage or savings account, making multiple banking brands less relevant in an increasingly digital world.That shift is also reshaping the debate around bank branches. Nunn challenges one of Britain's most politically sensitive narratives, arguing that physical access to banking has never been greater once post offices, banking hubs, community bankers, ATMs and cash points are taken into account. While he acknowledges that many people feel left behind by branch closures, he says the way banking services are delivered is changing, with thousands of Lloyds colleagues now providing hour-long consultations to vulnerable customers in their own homes. Traditional branches, he believes, will survive for at least another decade, but what constitutes a "branch" is becoming increasingly blurred.Nunn also argues that Britain has become too cautious. Regulation makes it harder and more expensive to lend than in many comparable countries, he says, while the economics of housebuilding no longer work in many parts of the country. The average first-time buyer is now 34, two-thirds take out mortgages lasting 30 years and the bank of mum and dad remains central to getting on the property ladder.Some 13.5% of 16 to 24-year-olds are not in education, employment or training, a figure Nunn describes as "frightening" given the country's ageing population. If young people cannot build skills, save and buy homes, he warns, the long-term economic implications for Britain are significant. Artificial intelligence, meanwhile, could transform banking over the next five years more than the previous 35, democratising access to investment advice and helping tackle fraud.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones

In this episode, Anant sits down with Barbara to unpack the operational complexity behind luxury hospitality, comparing the economics of running a cruise ship against running a hotel, the wildly different booking cycles for each, and how metrics like ADR and TREVPAR actually shape the business.

Cybersecurity has no shortage of urgency, but it does have a shortage of people who are ready for the work as it actually happens. ISC2, a global cybersecurity professional association, estimates in its 2024 Cybersecurity Workforce Study that 5.5 million professionals are working in cyber worldwide, yet the field still needs 4.8 million more to meet demand. That gap is not just a hiring problem; it is a training and mindset problem, especially when organizations need local talent that can think critically, adapt quickly, and respond to sophisticated threats in real time.If the cyber workforce gap cannot be solved by resumes alone, how should the industry rethink who gets trained, how they are selected, and what it really takes to prepare them for the job?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski speaks with Dean Gefen, Chief Executive Officer of nuKudo, about a new approach to cybersecurity talent development. The conversation explores why traditional hiring pipelines may be missing capable candidates, how nuKudo recruits from nontraditional talent pools, and why critical thinking, adaptability, and hands-on operational training may matter more than conventional credentials in today's cyber environment.Top insights from the talk…Gefen explains nuKudo's paid training model, which allows selected candidates to earn a salary while learning cybersecurity skills, reducing the financial barrier that often keeps talented people out of the field.The episode examines why cybersecurity work requires a different mindset from traditional IT roles, with Gefen emphasizing critical thinking, adaptability, and the ability to respond to complex, changing threats.Stefanski and Gefen discuss the growing risks facing companies, from state-level attacks to weak identity management, insufficient testing environments, and the need for organizations to better understand their attack surfaces.Dean Gefen is a cybersecurity executive with more than 13 years of operational experience across cyber training, consulting, research, and organizational leadership. He currently serves as CEO of nuKudo and Group CEO of DART, and has advised governments across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East on building cyber operational units and training programs. His background includes senior roles with Red Alpha Cybersecurity, Israel's National Cyber Security Authority, AppInsight, and the Israel Defense Forces' Intelligence Corps, where he developed deep expertise in operational cyber capabilities and workforce development.

It's been three years since today's guest has been on the show. In that time the business he runs has doubled in size through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions. Group CEO of Miller Insurance Services, James Hands, is looking for growth at a similar pace for the next three years and this interview is an excellent 360-degree guide to how he plans to achieve his goals. A focus on specialty insurance and reinsurance, investment in people and expertise and making the most of growth synergies from the firm's acquisitions are very much the order of the day. Expansion into MGAs, and investments in technology and facilitisation are also going to be part of the mix. This is an exceptionally well-rounded interview with the leader of a business making the most of its best-of-both-worlds position as an independent with the scale and resources to be able to keep up with larger global broking groups, whilst retaining the speed and agility of a smaller business. James is relaxed and is brimming with confidence in the prospects for Miller and the global specialty broking market. A quick listen and a clear picture, as well as lots of market tips and insights, will come into view. NOTES: James refers to David Robinson.

How do you scale a consulting business from £2M to £30M without losing culture, customer focus, or entrepreneurial energy?In this episode, Joe O'Mahoney speaks with Stuart Packham, Group CEO of Alchemist Group, about scaling professional services businesses through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions, operational rigor, and people-first leadership.

India has transformed the way it pays, saves and invests, but when it comes to credit, insurance and healthcare, trust still remains the biggest gap. In this episode, Monika Halan sits down with Yashish Dahiya, Chairman and Group CEO of PB Fintech, to discuss what India must solve to truly become a financially empowered nation by 2047. From the future of healthcare and insurance to data-driven finance, consumer trust, regulation and financial inclusion, this conversation looks at the bigger structural shifts needed to make financial products work better for ordinary Indians. Yashish argues for a fundamental shift in how the country operates, moving away from a “capacity-led” approach to a more “data-led” system that priorities the individual. In this conversation, we explore, The Trust Gap: Why removing the friction between buyer and seller is the ultimate goal for a developed India.

Debenhams was once one of the biggest names on the British high street. Founded in 1778, it collapsed into administration before being rescued in 2024 and rebuilt as a digital-only marketplace. Now, under chief executive Dan Finley, Debenhams Group is back to growth after reporting a £350 million loss in the year to February 2025. Finley argues the business is now one of the biggest turnarounds in recent UK retail history, with the Debenhams brand generating £654 million in annual revenue and a marketplace model built around 25,000 brands across fashion, home and beauty.But his biggest fight is not just with the legacy of the high street. It is with China's fast fashion giants. Shein and Temu have disrupted the UK market, and Finley says the brands in his group — Boohoo and PrettyLittleThing among them, once the original online fashion disruptors — have taken a hit. He admits they have had a tough time but says the fightback is under way, with the group dusting itself off and competing again. The challenge is compounded by the de minimis tax exemption, which allows low-value parcels to enter the UK without import duties. Finley says this gives Chinese platforms a structural cost advantage over British retailers, which pay UK taxes, employ British workers and comply with domestic safety regulation. The government has committed to closing the loophole by 2029, but Finley wants action within 12 months, pointing to the United States, which moved in six months, and the EU, which begins rolling out changes from July.There is also pressure closer to home. Frasers Group, controlled by Mike Ashley, owns close to 30 per cent of Debenhams Group and recently blocked the formal company name change from Boohoo to Debenhams Group. Finley says the business already operates as Debenhams Group in practice, trades under the stock market ticker "DEBS", and remains focused on delivering value for all shareholders. His own incentive plan is tied to a dramatic target: taking the share price from around 23p to £3, an 18-fold increase sustained over two years, creating more than £4 billion in shareholder value. Finley calls it a big challenge, but says he is determined to get there.The next stage of the turnaround is built around AI and agentic commerce. Debenhams has struck a partnership with Meta and is preparing for a future where consumers shop through platforms such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. Internally, AI is being used to scale marketing content from a single photo shoot into millions of personalised assets, while a partnership with Multiverse will deliver more than 100 AI apprenticeships for staff. Finley describes AI as a "snakes and ladders moment" for both companies and individuals.What is not coming back is the department store. Finley rules out a return to physical retail and says Debenhams' future is entirely digital. His ambition is for the brand to become "to retail what Spotify is to music": a curated marketplace where shoppers can discover thousands of brands in one place.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Will and Sean intro pod 02:00 Dan Finley on the Debenhams turnaround 13:57 Frasers/Mike Ashley standoff 17:19 18x share price target 18:26 De minimis loophole benefitting Shein/Temu. 21:15 Fast fashion fight-back & influencer growth 27:50 AI and agentic commerce push 33:13 No return to physical stores

Success is rarely the result of vision alone.

Perminder Mann is CEO of UK & International for Simon & Schuster, a role she stepped into in May 2024 after eight years as Group CEO of Bonnier Books UK.

Next, Shazmeen Malik, Partner Brands & Flexible Fulfilment Director at ASOS, dives into the art of marketplace curation. She explains how ASOS balances global brands with emerging labels, why 20% of its branded portfolio is now newly onboarded, and how flexible fulfilment models, from partner fulfilment to ASOS Fulfilment Services, enable scale without compromising customer experience. Shazmeen also shares how ASOS is using AI for personalisation, outfitting and virtual try‑on, describing it as “super exciting” for discovery‑led shopping. We then hear from Martin Ward, Head of Software UK&I at Toshiba, who explores why retail transformations fail when they prioritise technology over people. He reflects on Toshiba's work with Matalan, the importance of involving store colleagues early, and why retailers must “test and learn and fail fast” to drive meaningful change. Martin also offers a grounded view on Agentic AI, its potential, its risks, and why adoption must be purposeful rather than hype‑driven.

Richard Lewis, Group CEO of RedCat Hospitality, shares a hospitality perspective on loyalty and digital micro‑donations.

He explores how data, communication and digital engagement can drive frequency across pubs and hotels. Finally, Meriel Neighbour, Director of Technology Delivery and Transformation, River Island closes the episode with a fashion retail perspective, sharing how a major high‑street brand is thinking about modern store operations, digital enablement and the evolving role of the physical store in a technology‑rich, customer‑driven world.

Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with Elizabeth Ntege, Group CEO of NFT, in Kampala, Uganda, for an inspiring conversation about tackling one of the world's greatest challenges: unemployment.

It's not just enough for you to pay their paycheck, but you need to create an environment in which they thrive, and then align their values with their companies, with their God given kingdom principles." - Elizabeth Ntege "Clearly, no connection from Sunday to Monday. Clearly, there is no connection between what is happening in the church and what and what happening in the marketplace." - Elizabeth Ntege "We were willing to walk away from a $2 million contract then compromise our values." - Elizabeth Ntege
