Paul Jardine joins Worry+Peace Advisory Board

Team expands twice in a month as momentum builds

We are pleased to share that Paul Jardine, former Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer at XL Catlin, has joined our advisory board with immediate effect.

His focus will be on driving further strategic engagement across the sector; advocating Worry+Peace’s platform potential driven by custom-built reviews software and a network-like model.

“I am delighted to have joined the Worry+Peace Advisory Board and excited to be part of a platform that should revolutionise the insurance industry. At a time when the industry needs to rebuild customer trust, Worry+Peace provides an independent, reviews driven technology platform that connects buyers and providers of insurance without the inherent conflicts that comparison sites and search engines have. ” Said Jardine.

Worry+Peace review software does away with star ratings and averages - instead buyers award medals by service type and product. Every buyer is tagged to providers they review - a move which Worry+Peace anticipates allows better quality matching of buyer needs to their current providers’ offerings.

Building a platform to connect a sector so complex is painstaking work. To kickstart connections, on top of the dozens of providers managing their profiles, we have added over 220 providers to our search listings. Providers listed can take control of their profile at any time. Once onboard they can then incorporate reviews to their current service, link to their Worry+Peace page and create onward value.

“Reviews shouldn’t just be about cheaper clicks - as promised by star rating platforms. It’s about value capture. Here’s a golden opportunity to turn high sector acquisition costs into richer feedback and more onward lifetime value. If you like the sound that - you should join us.“ Said James York, Founder of Worry+Peace.

"Paul’s experience and insight can help shape these viable plans to link and connect everything insurance, everywhere.” He added.
 


Jardine’s tenure at Catlin (now part of AXA XL) began in 2001 during which he was Chief Executive of the Catlin Syndicate in 2003 and then Chief Operating Officer of Catlin in 2004. A former partner at Coopers & Lybrand (now part of PwC), he focused on Lloyd’s of London and the London insurance market, having begun his career as an actuary.


The executive also served for nine years as the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Lloyd’s, a body responsible for management and supervision over the Lloyd’s of London market. Latterly he has been active on the Boards of the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA), the London Market Group (LMG), Asta Managing Agency and the AkinovA advisory board.

Worry+Peace's team was further boosted by the arrival of Richard Dulcamara last month as Head of Marketplace Growth. Additional good new is set to be unveiled later in March as our traction in the market continues to propagate and grow in momentum.
