Read moreReport Sunk costs: the socioeconomic impacts of flooding Flood risk is the most pervasive among natural disasters. Climate change and the increasing concentrations of population and assets in exposed areas are exacerbating the threat of flooding, and its human and economic costs are on the rise and greater than we realize. Since 1980 only 12 percent of economic losses have been insured. Flooding deepens economic and social inequalities, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable. Governments should take a strategic approach to close the protection gap, maximizing insurance penetration in a financially sustainable way, without incentivizing moral hazard or crowding out private insurers. -
Read moreReport Community-Based Catastrophe Insurance Insurance plays a critical role in recovery from natural disasters, but many households and small businesses do not have sufficient coverage to fund repair and rebuilding due to various reasons. CBCI can play many roles in the dynamic ecosystem of existing public and private catastrophe insurance mechanisms. It could complement traditional catastrophe insurance markets by providing supplemental financial protection to community members in the event of a disaster or be used as full-limit, single-peril property protection in areas with high risk. In other instances, CBCI can offer the community a means to work with carriers or private capital providers to rebuild and sustain insurance uptake while facing loss volatility. -

He is frequently asked to speak internationally and has given evidence to Parliamentary Enquiries as well as to the US Congress.

He joined Pool Re with the mandate to bring a fresh perspective to a company that had changed little since its formation in 1993. He implemented a strategic change programme and led the negotiations with HM Treasury in two formal reviews of Pool Re’s role. He repositioned the company as a champion of innovation and an international thought leader, spearheading a broader and more sophisticated underwriting proposition requiring an amendment to an Act of Parliament.

Working with politicians and civil service, he promoted partnership with the Home Office leading to investment in several risk mitigation projects.

His fluency in French and Italian led him initially to practice law in London, Milan and Brussels. His subsequent experience in the insurance industry spans the markets in Lloyd’s, London, the UK regions and Continental Europe. His early career saw him work at Chubb, at AIG Europe, at CNA as President of its Continental European Division based in Paris, and then as President and CEO of CNA Europe. In 2009, Julian became President and CEO of Argo International and from 2011 to 2013 was CEO of a private equity backed venture. He has always focused on businesses undergoing important strategic transitions under challenging circumstances. Julian has extensive experience of working on international and governmental advisory boards. These include the Advisory Board of the OECD International Network on the Financial Management of Large-scale Catastrophe, the CBI’s Financial Services Council, the UK’s National Preparedness Commission, the Clean Growth Leadership Network, and the Business of Resilience Taskforce where he chairs the Cyber and Terrorism sub-committee on behalf of the Department for International Trade. He founded the International Forum of Terrorism Risk Reinsurance Pools, which now has fifteen members across five continents, and is an active international advocate for the importance of public/private partnerships and international collaboration to tackle difficult-to-insure perils. Outside work, Julian has been Chairman of the City Forum and of the Princes Trust Insurance Leadership Group. He is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Insurers and has been awarded the Freedom of the City of London. He is a visiting Professor at the University of Cranfield, and an Executive in Residence at the University of Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies where he chairs the Systemic Risk Research Consortium.
