What the data can’t tell you about culture
By Graham Oddie, Deputy Departmental Head & Divisional Head of General Aviation and Aerospace
01 October 2026
With most of my career spent in underwriting aviation risk, I’ve come to see how intertwined the culture of an organisation is with its success as an organisation, whether that is an operator of aircraft or a manufacturer of one.
From risk transfer to risk prevention: redefining the role of cyber insurance
By Luke Fardell, Lead Cyber Analyst
17 September 2026
Most cyber insurance policies are still bought for a moment that never comes: the claim. But increasingly, the real value is delivered long before an incident occurs – often in ways policyholders never see. When a cyber breach does happen, the same question follows: could this have been avoided? In many cases, the answer is uncomfortably simple - yes.
Transparency Matters: Why Asia Needs Stronger Cyber Duty to Inform Legislation
By Pavlos Spyropoulos , Regional Managing Director Asia Pacific
14 July 2026

By Tobin Ryan, Head of Claims
16 June 2026
When we speak to our brokers, it quickly emerges that there is one common and fundamental truth: when challenges arise, brokers want the confidence that their clients will be supported with clarity, speed, professionalism and commerciality. Consequently, a great claims experience strengthens relationships, reduces uncertainty, and helps brokers protect their clients’ resilience.
Asia’s Risk Tipping Point
By Pavlos Spyropoulos , Regional Managing Director Asia Pacific
10 June 2026
When TMK set up at Lloyd’s Asia in Singapore two decades ago, Asia’s most valuable risks were easy to identify. They sat in ports, factories and offshore platforms, embedded in the physical infrastructure that powered regional growth and the insurance market had well-established frameworks to price them. Today, many of the region’s largest exposures are just as real, but far less tangible.
