This week, I interviewed John Willemsen of Arch Re. John also has a career in the program space, but John is on the other side. Every program needs capacity and John has built a career of providing capacity, paper and back office support for program administrators. In this episode John zeros in on the 5 things he looks for in a program:1. Reputation2. Quality of data3. Underwriting Acumen4. Premium Size and/or potential of 5 CultureWe also discussed how startups, without the benefit of many of these important traits, should think of operating to get the backing of the industry. As a startup myself, I learned a ton from John's wisdom.
