Perfect partnerships

How did you first get started in the international health insurance industry, and how did you come to be in your current role? My first job was for broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson, where I gravitated towards the Accident and Health division, focusing mainly on international risk. Over the years, I have worked in a number of strategic business development roles for some of the leading insurance businesses including Lloyd's and Aon. When headhunted for this role, I was aware of second medical opinion services and Best Doctors – it felt like the perfect opportunity, not only to be involved with a leading provider in the sector but also to be involved in a market that had such potential for growth and still has. In addition, having had a family member with a serious medical condition, I could see the value proposition and I liked the idea of helping to make a difference for other families in similar situations.
