Experience: BUSINESS & INDUSTRY - Shareholder in an international loss adjustment firm specializing in the energy sector. I manage onshore and offshore losses in excess of US$1 billion on behalf of domestic carriers and various syndicates at Lloyd’s of London. - Independent Risk Consultant for Oil & Gas operators and non-operators, specializing in assessing operational risks in the exploration and production of the upstream energy industry. Speaker on topics ranging from equipment to increased risk and associated mitigation. The point to take away here is this: when it comes to Private Lending, and you wonder why you should trust me with your money? The answer is simple, Lloyd's of London trusts me with millions of their money every day, and I'll teach you how to lend your money with the same care and concern.
