Mark's specialty topics

Commercial insurance market conditions Specialty and excess & surplus lines Employee benefits and workplace insurance Reinsurance and catastrophe risk Insurtech and insurance technology

Mark Rosanes is a journalist and feature writer at Key Media, where he has covered the insurance industry for Insurance Business since 2020. He writes guides and in-depth features on personal and commercial lines and reinsurance.

Mark has worked in editorial since 2009. Before joining Key Media, he spent a decade at Global Sources, the Hong Kong-listed B2B sourcing platform and one of Alibaba's largest competitors, where he rose from copy editor to managing editor across industry-specific product verticals and trade magazines.

Earlier in his career, he worked as a segment producer in sports broadcasting, covering professional basketball, boxing, volleyball, and regional multi-sport events.

His work focuses on translating complex insurance topics into practical guidance for brokers, underwriters, and risk professionals.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Insurance professionals don't need to be told what happened. They need to understand why it matters for their book of business. I try to write every story with that reader over my shoulder, the broker managing a difficult renewal, the underwriter watching capacity shift, the risk manager trying to explain a coverage gap to a client.”
