2023 New Zealand Lifetime Achiever, Facultative Underwriter John Wiseman Stubbs feels fortunate to have been able to help keep the reinsurance voice alive in New Zealand.

Stubbs, who was Property Facultative Manager at General Reinsurance (Gen Re) New Zealand between 1987 and April 2023, is proud that he was able to provide the company’s global expertise to the local market.

“Reinsurance is a global industry and we’ve been returning value to clients here and helping them manage their volatility,” he says. “We have a sustainable well-priced business. Clients get local service and a quick answer when a risk is offered, or an issue is discussed.

“Because Gen Re has a local office the business can respond to topical government queries and contribute to discussions on re/insurance issues when they arise.   

“Being local also assists clients who come to us with their risks; we have a direct underwriter-to-reinsurance relationship. Whatever the need, we’ve been able to offer the benefit of a reinsurer’s perspective.
