Insurance built.
Rebuilt
with AI.

I've spent 15 years building insurance businesses and the last three 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 in specialist underwriting, sanctions compliance and travel insurance. For the last three years I've been rebuilding how those businesses operate with AI agents and automation.

Most of the conversation about AI in insurance is either too abstract or too narrow. The useful question is 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 real answers to that question, from someone who has lived it rather than studied it from the outside.

What I do

Three ways
to work together.

01
Startup &
Advisory
For insurtechs working through AI strategy, technology decisions and changes to how they operate. A practitioner's perspective for boards that want more than a consultant's report.
02
Strategic
Partnerships
I partner to build as well as 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 drawn from what's happening inside insurance businesses adopting AI, rather than from the hype.

The work

I don't advise on things I haven't built. These are the businesses where the ideas get tested against reality.

Insurtech · Small Business · AU
Pocket
Insurance built for small businesses, by people who have been there. Most brokers treat small businesses like scaled-down corporates: same jargon, same processes, same indifference at renewal. Pocket was built to fix that.

AR Network · Broking · Stealth
Martin
An AR network for brokers who want to run their own business, but don't want to do it alone. Martin handles licensing, onboarding, finance, and compliance so brokers can focus on clients.

Writing & thinking

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