- Validating reserve adequacy to avoid further adverse development.
- Managing heightened CAT exposure from increased risk appetite.

Question #1
As Williamson executes the aggressive “one renewal standard” turnaround, will he instill the proactive underwriting discipline that was absent during his COO tenure, or is his decisiveness primarily a reactive tool for managing crises he previously failed to prevent?
Question #2
Given his deep expertise in reinsurance, will Williamson successfully export its disciplined growth playbook to the entire enterprise, or will his focus on expanding the successful property CAT book divert his attention from the granular operational and cultural remediation required to fix the primary insurance business?
