There is an abundance of innovation across all the business units, which makes for a fascinating work environment with the ability to deliver some unique solutions to our customers and investors. Insurance is integral to the Greensill business and we have great relationships with some of the best international insurers in the market. I am looking forward to working with our many insurers in a number of different ways to meet our growing global business requirements whilst being able to offer an emerging asset class that leverages state of the art AI to provide unprecedented insights into investible credit risk.”
