“Insurance underpins every aspect of modern life. It pulls people out of poverty and protects us all from disaster.”

“I bring over 30 years of practical experience working with insurers, insureds, and brokers in reaching solutions to complex problems in as cost-efficient manner as possible.

Insurance underpins every aspect of modern life by spreading the burden of risk. It pulls people out of poverty and protects us all from disaster. The global economy could not exist without insurance.”

My aim is to communicate with brevity, with clarity and with beauty. I try to handle cases with humanity, humility and humour. It is always a collaborative effort, and my goal is always to assist the client in making the strategically correct decision.”
