I write about the economy, insurance, and the financial forces shaping our world—from quiet boardroom deals to the aftermath of natural disasters. My work as Editor-in-Chief at Beinsure Media is rooted in clarity and impact.
I focus on understanding how global trends translate into real consequences for businesses, institutions, and ordinary people. Whether it’s macroeconomic reform in Ukraine or global catastrophe insurance, I follow the money, the risk, and the decisions that define them.
Much of what I publish centers on the intersection of insurance and global risk. From cyber threats to hurricanes, I explore how insurers respond, adapt, and sometimes fail. I dig into marine claims, aviation disputes, and the legal tensions emerging in directors and officers (D&O) insurance.
My writing isn’t about headlines—it’s about patterns. Where insurers raise rates, where governments step in, where gaps emerge in reinsurance markets—that’s where I aim my analysis.
War has changed everything. Since the invasion of Ukraine, I’ve followed how global reinsurers exclude risk, how capital drains from markets, and how Ukraine tries to rebuild resilience.
One of the stories I’ve followed closely is the introduction of war risk reinsurance for Ukraine’s commercial property sector. These innovations aren’t just technical—they’re about survival and economic continuity.
I keep a close eye on capital markets too. I cover M&A in North America, the rise and fall of insurtech valuations, and how interest rates shape underwriting strategies. From global brokers to local startups, I look at who is leading and who is lagging.
Venture capital in insurance, for instance, has started to stabilize after years of volatility. That doesn’t just affect founders—it impacts how innovation filters into everything from car insurance to climate modeling.
In Europe, I’ve reported on the push toward the Savings and Investments Union and the growing role of insurers in long-term capital formation. Regulatory trends matter. I study EIOPA dashboards, IAIS reports, and catastrophe response frameworks to understand how public policy aligns—or collides—with industry risk appetites.
But my work isn’t just about institutions. It’s also about the claims that matter to individuals. I write about dog bite liability, auto coverage options, and how natural disasters hit households as much as portfolios. Insurance is a human business—too often overlooked behind numbers and jargon.
As an editor, I balance breaking news with longer-term risk narratives. I ask why certain reinsurance facilities are being created, how systemic risks are measured, and what indicators can really predict future losses. Every article I write is driven by the same question: what’s next, and who’s exposed?
This is a volatile, high-stakes industry. But that’s exactly why it needs transparent, grounded journalism. That’s what I try to offer—insight with relevance, stories with data, and a steady focus on the risk horizon.
