Disruption generates another 43% growth for BrightRock and its Simon Marais lookalike

LONDON — In a world where salaried executives and their spin doctors boast when they post growth in single digits, it's refreshing to find those for whom those numbers don't cut it. So after another strong year, this time of 43% growth, I tapped insurance company BrightRock's CEO Schalk Malan for an update. We've been privileged to have BrightRock as a partner virtually since the creation of Biznews, so not surprisingly have followed their progress more closely than most. The tall, strapping and super-bright Malan reminds me both physically and intellectually of the late Simon Marais, whom I also watched closely over the years as he built Allan Gray into South Africa's leading money manager. Might we be witnessing something similar with BrightRock? - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
