I am an insurance and financial sector professional with a deep understanding of the deal structures and mechanics that underpin successful business operations. I have extensive experience in conceptualising, identifying, assessing and implementing a range of insurance ventures in Africa, India and the UK. In addition, I am committed to disrupting banking and insurance incumbents by leveraging technology and data to provide better customer value. My key interests and capabilities include:• Partnerships and new business development• Product and channel development• Launching start-ups and tech-enabled businesses• Navigating complex regulatory environments• Insurance structuring and capital management• Equity investments in partner businessesBesides my financial and insurance-related capabilities, some of things that make me tick is authentic travel, preferably off the beaten track by motorbike or bicycle. Extensive travel and working in developing countries have given me broad perspective and respect for different cultures and the richness of diversity. I enjoy rigorous debate, being outdoors in the mountains, rock climbing or paragliding.
