Analysis

Julie Page, Aon

Julie Page, chief executive of Aon UK, is one of only two women to make this year’s Insurance Post Power List – showing the industry is making steps rather than strides forward to becoming more diverse and inclusive.

Elon Musk, Tesla and Chief Twit

The fact that Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla and chief of Twitter, made the top 10 of Insurance Post’s Power List just by dipping his toe in the UK insurance market reflects the waves this man makes when he enters an industry.

Mike Bruce, Global Risk Partners

Mike Bruce, group chief executive of Global Risk Partners, is yet another Power List player who shuns the likes of Linkedin but was rated highly by our judges for his ability to look at the way the industry works and learn lessons.

Sam Woods, Prudential Regulation Authority

Sam Woods, chief executive of the Prudential Regulation Authority, is shaping the industry’s capital requirements and is willing to clash heads with the government if he doesn’t agree with their desire to rip up the European Union’s rulebook.

Peter Blanc, Aston Lark

As leader of Aston Lark and executive chairman of Howden, Peter Blanc isn’t afraid of sticking his head above the parapet and pointing out the problems the industry is facing and suggesting solutions.

Matt Brewis, Financial Conduct Authority

The Consumer Duty is a “significant shift” in the Financial Conduct Authority’s approach to supervision and leading the charge of ensuring the industry understands the requirements is Matt Brewis, director of insurance.

David Ross, The Ardonagh Group

David Ross, chief executive of The Ardonagh Group, is proof you don’t have to be able to use 280-characters and subject yourself to Twitter abuse to make an impact in 2023.
