Mr. Gerardo Garcia, Chairman of global reinsurer Barents Re, speaks about the award for “Top 20 Most Influential Company” by CEO Insight Magazine. Mr. Gerardo Garcia explains that being influential today has more to do with been relevant to its specific market in the case of Barents Re, “We are relevant within our niche segments. The company is the world’s niche reinsurer operator.
In the past 23 year the company has constantly over-performed all of its peers in the reinsurance market but has also shown that big is necessarily better. That a niche agile operator with specific know how can become a source of excellence in a market that has become commoditized.”

CEO Insight commented on the award:
“The Top 20 Most Influential Companies list acknowledges enterprises that are at the summit of achievement in terms of excellence and influence. These companies have a vision that shapes the conceptual landscape of inward investment, finance, insurance, business, technology, design, architecture and law.”
