Startup Musings on Brexit
Jul 6, 2016

The UK's decision to leave the EU has a massive impact on the tech startup scene.  We are in uncharted territory.  As the founder of an insurtech startup, I wanted to share my thoughts on some of the challenges as well as some of the key opportunities that present themselves in a post-brexit environment.

The InsurTech start-ups to watch in 2016
Mar 2, 2016

Folks may know that as of Feb 2016 I stopped being an intrapreneur and started being an entrepreneur having co-founded a new startup called Wrisk.  It is early stages but the proposition is gaining traction.  We have even been featured as a startup to watch in both Insurance Age and Post Magazines.

Interview with Insurance Journal
Oct 28, 2015

An off-the-cuff interview with The Insurance Journal following a chance conversation at the speakers dinner of EIF 2015.  I think it does a pretty good job of articulating my approach to creating cultures within organisations that foster innovation.
