Insurance Product Strategy & Execution

From concept to capacity

Designing and delivering profitable, next-generation insurance products.

Headshot of Ben Rose

Design, launch & scale products with confidence

I am an independent insurance product strategy and execution consultant, supporting MGAs, insurers, Lloyd’s syndicates and insurtechs to design, price, launch, and govern commercial insurance products.

I work hands-on across insurance product development, underwriting, pricing, policy wordings, delegated authority structures and go-to-market strategy — helping clients bring products to market that carriers will support, regulators will approve, and customers will buy.

With over 20 years’ experience across the UK, EEA and Australian insurance markets, I support clients from initial product concept through to launch, scale and ongoing governance.
