Behind the Headlines: Navium Marine's Clive Washbourn on why MGAs are the fighter jets of insurance
How do you build a $400mn MGA? Navium Marine CEO Clive Washbourn told Behind the Headlines that his business is a "fighter jet" out hunting for deals. Navium has built scale by taking on risk "in a fairly aggressive way" with large line sizes available to deploy.
