Insurance built.
Rebuilt
with AI.

I've spent 15 years building insurance businesses and the last few building with AI. I partner with founders and businesses on what that actually looks like in practice.

About

The practitioner,
not the pundit.

I started building insurance technology before "insurtech" was a word. I've founded businesses across specialist underwriting, sanctions compliance, and travel insurance — and spent the last three years systematically rebuilding how those businesses operate using AI agents, automation, and modern infrastructure.

Most of the conversation about AI in insurance is either too abstract or too narrow. The real question isn't whether AI will change insurance, it's what specifically changes when you actually build it, and how you make decisions without getting ahead of what the technology can reliably deliver.

I partner with founders and businesses who want a real answers to that question, based on having lived it — not studied it from the outside.

What I do

Three ways
to work together.

01
Startup &
Advisory
For insurtechs navigating AI strategy, technology decisions, and operational transformation. A practitioner's perspective for boards that want more than a consultant's report.
02
Strategic
Partnerships
I partner to build, not just advise. AI readiness, product strategy, distribution architecture, and the decisions that only matter when you're in the room where they're actually being made.
03
Speaking &
Writing
Selective speaking at insurtech and insurance events. Writing that draws on what's happening inside insurance businesses navigating AI, rather than what the hype.

Insurtech · Small Business · AU

Writing & thinking

Opinionated and specific — drawn from the build, not the boardroom. No "AI will transform insurance" headlines.
