The skill is understanding how to apply it and it’s this that will make a real difference. The right application can create far reaching change across the whole insurance value chain. I’m looking forward to working with Tim and others at INSTANDA to find new ways to drive efficiencies and innovation that will create real value to not only our clients, but their clients too.”
