Pina also outlines the types of expansion opportunities that Hamilton is pursuing, and its differentiation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/advantagego.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/keeping-the-things__ResizedImageWzgwMCwyMjZd.png\" alt=\"keeping the things\" title=\"keeping the things\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about growth plans for Hamilton, Pina explains that there are opportunities across all areas Hamilton plays in, with the company recently re-entering the mortgage business and with a focus in areas such as aviation, marine, and energy. Pina adds that one area with significant momentum is the specialty insurance space, including a focus on the U.S. E&amp;S business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No insurance discussion can avoid talking about the pandemic. In this interview, Pina explains that although Covid-19 has led to wording clarity, the industry is still around 18-24 months away from any certainty of the pandemic&#8217;s full impact and a final figure on the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lloyd\u2019s Factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the conversation turns towards London, Pina chats about Hamilton\u2019s presence at Lloyd\u2019s and about the exceptional talent they have in the London Market. With the Pembroke Managing Agency Limited acquisition completed, Pina discusses how the company can now focus on executing its specialty insurance strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/advantagego.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/about-the-Blueprint-Two__ResizedImageWzgwMCwyMjZd.png\" alt=\"about the Blueprint Two\" title=\"about the Blueprint Two\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about Lloyd\u2019s Blueprint Two and if it has set out the right priorities, Pina explains that such a large transformation project to streamline Lloyd\u2019s is a huge undertaking that can\u2019t be accomplished overnight. However, Pina explains that the latest Blueprint has provided the laser focus the market needs to achieve its goals and praises its move to establish stronger data standards and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech Talk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think the more traditional insurance market is becoming irrelevant? asks Mark Geoghegan. Pina explains that Insurers need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantagego.com\/en-us\/content\/go-deliver-online-the-principles-and-practices-of-successfully-delivering-projects-remotely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find a more efficient way of delivering<\/a> their products and services and that \u201cthe market wants innovation and more streamlined technology\u2026 and that anybody who denies this reality will suffer in the long-run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/advantagego.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/learning-opportunities__ResizedImageWzgwMCwyMjZd.png\" alt=\"learning opportunities\" title=\"learning opportunities\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of InsurTechs, Pina comments that there are ample collaboration opportunities for Insurers to partner with InsurTechs and add <a class=\"ss-broken\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advantagego.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">much-needed technology and efficiency<\/a> to their offerings, as Pina says, \u201cthere is a need for modernisation, for the embracing of technology, both Covid and the success of InsurTechs has taught us that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pina is a focused leader with clear views on where the market is heading.
