Following his election during the GFIA’s General Assembly which took place in Helsinki, Finland, he said, 'I’m pleased to be able to take on this role particularly at this important time for GFIA. It’s especially important that global policymakers understand that insurance is it’s own sector, with it’s own risks and realities. Regulations designed for deposit-taking institutions or fintech intermediaries rarely work well for insurers.

I’m excited to help advance these discussions with regulators and governments in the coming years.”
