In June, I headlined my column on Richard Ward–the new chief executive officer at Lloyds of London–The Mystery Man, because two months into his job, he had yet to lay out his vision or agenda. But the mystery is no more! In an exclusive, first-person account written for National Underwriter, Mr. Ward details his objectives for the world's oldest and most famous insurance market. Click here to read his article, and continue on to read my take on the emerging Lloyd's market.
Back in June, I gave Mr. Ward credit for laying low to learn the market and the job before going off half-cocked about his intentions. After all, he was an outsiderno insurance industry backgroundand before taking the lead, it made sense to make sure he knew what he was talking about.
However, as the summer passed without a Ward sighting, I began to wonder whether my next column about him would be headlined, The Invisible Man. I was assured by the powers at Lloyds that Mr. Ward was indeed making a lot of progress, but was not prepared to speak publicly–and certainly not with the media.
