OPERATING
Hands-On Leadership When You Need It Most
Most consulting firms give you a strategy deck and leave. We step in and run the business when you need experienced leadership to execute, not just advise. Whether it's a CEO, CUO, or operational leader role, we take accountability for outcomes.
What We Do
Interim Executive Roles
Sometimes you need a CEO, CUO, or COO right now. Someone who can step in, make decisions, and deliver results while you find the permanent hire or navigate a critical transition.
We serve as interim executives for insurance carriers, MGAs, and insurtechs. This isn't placeholder leadership - we make strategic decisions, manage P&Ls, lead teams, and deliver outcomes. We've held regulated roles as CEO and CUO with regulatory authorities including the GFSC, MFSA, and FCA.
Crisis Management & Turnaround
When things go wrong - regulatory intervention, capital shortfalls, operational failures and risks crystallising, you need someone who's navigated crises before and can make hard decisions quickly.
We step in during crises, stabilise operations, manage regulatory relationships, and execute turnaround plans. We've secured emergency regulatory approvals, restructured operations under pressure, and rebuilt stakeholder confidence.
Program & Change Management
Major initiatives fail because of poor execution, not strategy. Technology implementations, regulatory change programs, and organisational restructures need experienced program leadership.
We manage complex programs including core system implementations, regulatory change initiatives, and organisational transformations. We've delivered projects requiring coordination across multiple jurisdictions, regulatory approvals, and stakeholder alignment.
How we work
Full-Time Interim Roles
We step in as CEO, CUO, or other key function holder for 6-18 month assignments. Fully embedded, making decisions, accountable for outcomes.
Part-Time Executive Roles
For smaller organisations or specific challenges, we provide senior executive leadership 2-3 days per week, focusing on critical decisions and strategic direction. Ideal for insurtechs and MGAs that need C-suite expertise but aren't ready for full-time hires.
Why Insurtechs & MGA’s choose us
Traditional insurance executives often struggle in insurtech environments. They don't understand the culture, the pace, or why things are done differently. And startup operators without insurance experience struggle to satisfy regulators.
We bridge both worlds. We've been insurtech CEOs who’ve got regulatory approval. We've worn casual clothes to regulatory meetings and still secured CEO authorisation. We've built underwriting teams in modern offices while maintaining regulatory credibility.
You don't have to choose between someone who understands your culture and someone who can navigate regulators. We've done both.
