He describes what it was like starting this company amidst the pandemic and the tools he used to get his company going. He explains why he pursued a career in reinsurance despite it being such a niche market, how clients can use their platform, and what they can expect to find. Will also shares what keeps him motivated despite the tumultuous time we’re currently experiencing.
