Hello and welcome to another episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast.   This week I was lucky enough to be joined by Marco Del Carlo   https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcodelc...   Marco is CEO and Founder of Capacity Place.   https://capacityplace.com/ Capacity place is a marketplace that brings together interested parties seeking capacity with businesses looking to provide capacity. It's a brilliantly simple solution to a problem that in my role as a headhunter I have personally experienced.   This was a great conversation that covered a wide range of topics:   Marcos path into insurance from management consultancy The inefficiency of Lloyd's market and therefore opportunities ( I miss the suitcases) The evolution of the banking and hedge fund market and whats it means to the insurance market Algorithmic trading Setting up an MGA Choosing the right partners for starting a business and having clear objectives Setting the right criteria for growth Building networks Finding you are a salesman when you don't think you are Discovering "The Idea" and knowing when to commit to it full time The different objectives of carriers: distribution vs margin How simple ideas are the best Transparent market places and building robust, secure marketplaces  How to grow a  business with multiple customer segments Timing in an acquisition is everything And much more in between.  This is a really interesting chat with an engaging founder with a great business concept.  If you want to find out more about me: Alex Bond you can check me out on Linkedin  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbondf...  FinPro is a talent consultancy to the Insurance, Reinsurance and Insuretech markets on a global basis, for more information visit our website  https://www.wearefinpro.com/ Look out for more episodes coming soon and please like and subscribe as it would be greatly appreciated Hosted on Acast.
