Sam Ashard
Product Leader, US Property Treaty
I joined Convex after 14 years in the industry including 4 years in a very similar role. The appeal for me was that our management team has an underwriting background. They’re very respected in the industry, too: they worked hard to build up a reputation for paying claims fairly and quickly, acting thoughtfully and responding fast to changes in circumstances without exposing clients or brokers to unpleasant surprises.
They also had a clear idea of the kind of business and culture they wanted to create: collaborative, with no internal competition. We’re all incentivised to make the right decision for the company, even if it shrinks our own book of business. Everyone trusts and respects each other, and we work to build that trust with our clients and brokers.
