The Voice of Insurance

Ep270 Ken Reilly Sompo: Capturing growth


Listen Later

The transformation of major Japanese insurers into genuinely global insurers has been one of the most remarkable long-term changes of the last couple of decades.


Today’s guest is an embodiment of that internationalisation.

Ken Reilly is CEO of Insurance for Sompo in Asia Pacific but boasts a 30-year international career that has seen him work in New York, London, Bermuda and Tokyo.


Ken now splits his time between Singapore and Tokyo because, in addition to his APAC role, he now runs Sompo’s own Japanese commercial insurance division.

This is a really interesting encounter because – swayed by the big numbers, we are often guilty of an over intense focus on the North American and European insurance and reinsurance Markets.

In this episode I get to talk to someone who knows that world intimately to show me the nuances of the Asia Pacific market through the eyes of a global business that has been in some of those markets for 50 years.

Ken is a great guest and this is a very refreshing and enlightening interview.

Listen on for the dos and don’t of Asia-Pacific expansion and a lot more besides.
