Ep 119 Scott Purviance CEO AmWins: A Market built for Creativity and Response

Tuesday Apr 12, 2022

In this podcast I’m talking to the top broking CEO in the most interesting segment of the insurance market anywhere in the world.

Scott Purviance is the CEO of Amwins, the largest of the big three US wholesale insurance brokers. Because of this he has the best view of the trends affecting the world’s largest insurance market.

And because wholesale is such an responsive escape valve for the market, any pricing, coverage or capacity pressures are immediately picked up by his organisation. His business also connects directly to the wider international markets and is a major producer of income for all concerned.

Scott is relaxed, charming, and engaging. He’s also really smart and has an ability to both analyse and articulate the long-term trends that are affecting the market.

In this interview we dissect all the hotspots and crunch points in the US and get a sense of where things might be heading.

We also discuss the fast-growing `hybrid carrier phenomenon, broker M&A and why he doesn’t see Amwins stock heading for the public markets any time soon.
