Dennis Mahoney is a broking industry legend.

A consummate intermediary and negotiator he rose to be a trusted councillor at the top of the global broking world and right at the peak of the Aon chain of command.

Since relocating to Bermuda he has taken on a wider range of executive and non-executive roles.

The latest of these saw him steady the ship at independent London -based wholesale and reinsurance broker RFIB ahead of its eventual sale to Integro/Tysers.

Dennis is always honest and forthright in his opinions and has never been afraid to rock the establishment boat in his career – particularly in his zeal for market modernisation.

He doesn’t duck questions and he always tells you exactly what he thinks, warts and all.

But Despite a fearsome reputation he is actually incredibly easy to get on with and is very happy and comfortable in his own skin as I think this interview shows.

I found Dennis on excellent form and buzzing with ideas about the world in which insurance finds itself and the prospects for its future.

Do enjoy the listen
