In episode 108 of the Global Captive Podcast, supported by the EY Global Captive Network, Richard shares an in depth interview with Stellantis Insurance CEO Edouard de Lamarzelle on his 24 years at the motor insurer.

In the second half, Richard is also joined by Damian Cocking, head of sales at Flagstone International, to discuss the cash management platform’s interest in and platform for the captive insurance market.

01.52 - 29.43: Edouard originally joined PSA Group (now Stellantis) in 2000 as Global Head of Insurance, but after establishing PSA Insurance became its CEO. He announced earlier this month he would be leaving Stellantis after 24 years.

Ed shares his journey building and growing Stellantis Insurance and its role today within the wider group. It is not your typical captive interview, since Stellantis Insurance only writes the insurance for its auto customers and not the group’s own risks, and Ed explains the rationale behind this decision.

30.17 - 41.15: Damian Cocking, head of sales at Flagstone International, shares with us his background in finance and captives and explains why Flagstone is interested in the captive market.
