Kyle Menendez discusses “Renewals reimagined: Partnership and precision lead the way” in the Insurer

Kyle Menendez, Managing Director and Head of North America Property, Howden Re spoke with The Insurer for the second day at Rendez-Vous de Septembre in their article “Renewals reimagined: Partnership and precision lead the way”. 

In an industry facing uncertainty on all sides, clarity and collaboration offer the most effective way forward after mid-year renewals were shaped by a recalibration of risk and capital while global supply of capital continued to meet growing demand. 

“Partnership isn’t just a concept; it’s a mechanism for navigating volatility and building sustainable programs,” said Menendez. “To maintain momentum, the industry must continue to prioritise clarity, discipline and responsiveness. That means sharing views of risk, challenging assumptions and trading consistently across cycles. As capacity grows and competition intensifies, those who can articulate their risk appetite and support clients with tailored solutions will lead and will be best positioned to deliver long-term value.”
