You were talking about how slow things were perceived at least ten, twelve years ago.

And probably I think you're gonna have the opposite feeling now, which is like almost that there's too much change or things are moving so fast.

It's more about where do you focus?

And I'm sure we will talk about that in a few minutes.

But I think one of the aspects of your background, which I think is fascinating, is that move to Asia.

And it was not just that you moved to Asia, it's like you moved there to really see

set up a completely new business.

In the few years you were there, you grow it by six times, tripled headcount.

So it was really setting something up from scratch.

And I assume you don't have any background in Asia.

So I I'm fascinated to hear a bit more like how did you find it moving from Europe to Asia and how was that experience?

Christian, this is still specialty business.

So l kind of large commercial or specialty business, broker intermediated, it was not direct to consumer, right?

So it sounds like one of the big lessons to learn there is you cannot just replicate what you're doing in other geographies.

You need to adapt to the local market, hire local talent.

In what way is the Asian market different in how to do uh specialty insurance?

And so how long did that take?

So you were there from twenty nineteen through twenty twenty five.

How long did it take to get it right?

So was it like a smooth ride or was it like okay, the first couple of years were more challenging?
