Biography
I am an underwriter and manager of credit insurance and political risk insurance since 1998, with time at Citigroup, FCIA (Great American), and Zurich. Currently, I am the head of political risk at Starr Insurance Companies. I am also an expert witness and certified arbitrator with ARIAS.

As an expert witness, I've handled twelve cases across the New York, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong jurisdictions, engaged by seven different major law firms. I have direct experience insuring a wide variety of investments and loan structures, including short term trade receivables and trade finance, structured trade finance, project finance, sovereign and sub-sovereign loans, political risk (PRI) for property and mobile assets, and PRI for infrastructure projects in over 100 countries.
