Having spent almost all my career as an Insurance Broker, I now find myself on the other side of the fence but still following my passion for all things Cyber. However, I nearly became a game ranger.Whist training in South Africa I once fell into a pride of lions to save a dog, but that's a story for another day....My first job in insurance was sitting behind a desk in Stanningly near Leeds dealing with customers who would walk in to arrange their home and motor insurance I have enjoyed dealing with people and helping them find a solution for their insurance needs.In the last 20+ years I have been immersed in a great number of different areas the insurance industry has to offer in the UK and around the world. I have dealt with individuals protecting their most precious assets to large corporations with complex insurance programmes. I have worked around the UK, dealt with London Insurers and worked for 5 years in Australia where I headed up the Aerospace division of an international brokerage. Most recently I have been specialising in Cyber and the risks posed by the increased use of technology in our everyday lives.I'm now at a company that is looking to make Cyber Insurance Simple. Doing away with increasing long and complicated proposal forms so people can concentrate on what this is, an insurance policy that responds to the threats businesses see in today’s digitally connected world.In my spare time I still try and enjoy playing the odd game of rugby or cricket and avoid putting my head in the lion's jaws.
