Insurance serves as a safety net that allows for the exploration of new opportunities and that contributes to the enhancement of customers resilience against the impact of catasthrophies. I, therefore, believe that it is imperative to reduce the insurance protection gap of those most in need of a safety net and would like to contribute to the breaking down of barriers to access.
