    I have enjoyed over 7 years working in the London Market Insurance Sector. Currently, I work as an International Energy Broker delivering creative solutions to complex placements. Our team has a fantastic reputation in the London Market and an abundance of energy expertise with a specialism in all types of power generation assets. Our client base is worldwide and I have the pleasure of focussing on how we grow our Africa footprint. Africa’s growing energy demands due to massive innovation & entrepreneurship, infrastructure development, and technology adoption mean Africa is a rapidly expanding exciting market.In my spare time I think about the innovation that will sweep our sector and how to take full advantage of the opportunities to improve the customers experience with ‘boring old Insurance’. My background in User Experience Design, Human Computer Psychology and Immersive Technology (Bachelor of Science – Computer Science -University College London) has given me a different perspective on how technology can play a role in our sector.
