About Ian

I have worked in the insurance and reinsurance industry since 2012, holding a number of positions related to broking (business development) and underwriting as well as delegated authority mangement, internal audit and risk management.

I partner with (re)insurance companies to tackle challenges related to reinsurance, underwriting, project management, and process optimisation.

A core function of my practice is to ensure robust governance through independent audits of delegated authority frameworks. I assist both (re)insurers and coverholders in reviewing the underwriting and claims management conducted under these agreements.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, I simplify the complexities of insurance. I provide expert guidance to identify your unique risks, develop a strategy for selecting the right insurance partners, and position your business effectively to obtain optimal coverage and terms from potential insurers.

I am fluent in English and French and am available for projects globally.
