“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

Paolo Cuomo is an executive director in Gallagher Re’s Strategy Advisory practice. He joined in 2022, building on a dozen years of experience in the London insurance market, working for Brit, Beazley, Charles Taylor and Boston Consulting Group.
Cuomo brings an unrelenting drive to ensure technology is effectively used across the insurance process in underwriting, claims and back-office functions. Over the past decade, he has set up a new Lloyd’s syndicate and managing agency, supported the creation of the Lloyd’s Lab, and pushed the development of the “bionic underwriter,” which blends human experience and judgement with data analytics, AI and technology-enable insight.
In 2015, Cuomo co-founded InsTech London, the world’s first insurtech association and a driving force in making London the centre of the global insurtech movement. More recently, he has co-founded Quantum London, an association looking at the impact of quantum computing on business.
He sits on the IIL’s Cyber and Tech committee, and is a Liveryman and Court Assistant of the Worshipful Company of Insurers, where he sits on the iWIN committee (Insurance Women’s Inclusivity Network).
Cuomo spent the first decade of his career in McKinsey’s Global Business Technology Office. He holds an MEng from Imperial College London and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
When not working, he enjoys doing slightly daft things for charity. He has abseiled down Lloyd’s, cycled to Paris, and taken a zipwire from the Cheesegrater over the Aviva building and into the Gherkin.
