Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Digital Fineprint (DFP)

At Digital Fineprint, we pioneered the use of open data to build models and insights for SME customers, helping insurers like RSA, Hiscox, and Chubb improve risk selection, pricing, and marketing. Our platform tackled key challenges in SME insurance and delivered clear value to our partners.

The strength of our solution led to DFP’s acquisition by Taveo in 2021, showing the potential of our technology and cementing our role as an innovator in the industry.

It was a period of tremendous personal growth and enlightenment, where I deepened my understanding of the business landscape and refined my leadership abilities.

My experience at RSA served as a springboard for my entrepreneurial pursuits, igniting my passion for innovation and instilling a commitment to excellence that continues to drive my path today.
