IBOTT
Head of ibott , Chris Moore , tells us why Insurers need to start paying more attention to the growing Sharing Economy
In January 2019 , Apollo Syndicate Management , the independent specialist insurer and reinsurer , announced the appointment of Chris Moore as Head of ibott ( Insuring businesses of tomorrow for today ) and Deputy Active Underwriter of ibott ’ s special purpose arrangement ( SPA ) 1971 at Lloyd ’ s .
Fast-forward to 2022 , and Moore , who is known for his proactive leadership style and passion for innovation , is relishing the role that is leading ibott and its offerings from strength to strength .
Moore , a mathematics graduate of Bath University who always wanted to work in the insurance industry , is not one to shy away from a challenge . He admits he took a somewhat unorthodox dive into his first role in the space .
He explains , “ I had visions of being an actuary and quickly realised that probably wasn ' t for me , so tried to transit into underwriting . However , I ' d missed the graduate scheme intakes and so tried to find a different route into the industry which proved fairly challenging . Then my friend told me how he ' d accepted a job at Deloitte to be a consultant and he was going to cancel an interview with an insurance broker the next day .”
Moore saw his chance and took the slot for himself . " I told him not to cancel it , and then turned up and stole his interview with my CV . I think they appreciated the audacity and gave me the job there and then ."
