How multi-sector experience influences problem-solving and decision-making.

The pivotal role of data in the insurance sector and the challenges of qualifying and using it effectively.

The future of AI in insurance—opportunities, misconceptions, and how it can augment human capabilities.

Des’s journey from a working-class background to the C-suite is not just inspiring—it’s a testament to the importance of understanding where we come from and how it shapes our approach to leadership.
