The Voice of Insurance

Ep 108 John Cavanagh Beat Capital Partners: Building a perpetual business


Listen Later

Today’s guest is a really strong, highly successful well-known and well-respected presence in the market. He is someone great to know because he knows almost everyone, including the most powerful capital providers behind the scenes.


He is a real broker’s broker with a career spanning 45 years, culminating as CEO of Willis Re. And he has all the broker’s charm and craft accumulated over that period.

He is also passionate and wears his heart on his sleeve.

A consistent theme he has pursued in his career is a belief in the importance of enabling the renewal of the specialty insurance business in general and the Lloyd’s market in particular by giving entrepreneurs the opportunities and support they need to innovate and to refresh the sector.

And in the venture he founded four and a half years ago he has made it his business to do just that.

John Cavanagh is the chairman of Lloyd’s incubator, underwriter and investor Beat Capital Partners and in this interview we get right to the heart of what Beat is all about.

In this podcast we find out the biggest secular trends in specialty insurance and how Beat is on a mission to ride and grow with them to its advantage

We are most lucky to get the benefit of a lifetime of market knowledge and understanding delivered in a completely no-nonsense way.
You can hear the conviction coming out of every sentence – I challenge you not to find John’s insights hugely useful for your own business.

There’s something about the combination of strong passionate leadership and positivity that is really infectious.
