CEO Jabsheh’s underwriting discipline may not offset catastrophe risk volatility
Analysis of International General Insurance CEO Waleed Jabsheh
While Waleed Jabsheh’s underwriting discipline supports capital returns, a persistent challenge in managing catastrophe risk creates uncertainty around his ability to protect the company from significant loss volatility.
Management evaluated Waleed Jabsheh’s track record and skillset against the following key factors for IGIC:
- Maintaining discipline to protect margins in a softening market.
- Executing PI portfolio runoff to improve underwriting margins.
- Managing CAT loss volatility to protect profitability.
- Sustaining capital returns via underwriting profitability.

Question #1
As the market softens, how will Jabsheh balance the pressure to deliver top-line growth against the underwriting discipline that led him to exit the $50M PI portfolio?
Question #2
Given the persistent earnings volatility from catastrophe losses, does Jabsheh view this as an acceptable cost of his growth strategy, or is he willing to sacrifice expansion in key markets to build a more predictable earnings stream?
Question #3
Regarding the PI portfolio runoff, does Jabsheh’s decisive action to fix the problem reflect a new level of risk oversight, or does the fact it deteriorated under his leadership suggest a tendency to react to problems rather than preempt them?
