Tim’s area of business experience is in financial services, with an emphasis on insurance. Tim has leveraged these areas of experience and expertise to lead implementation teams, that through the use of technology, were focused on implementing business practise and process change into globally operating companies and government agencies.

He was instrumental in Quindell’s growth in North America including winning major contracts with leading insurers as well as the acquisition and transformation of Canada’s largest network of healthcare clinics.
