His extensive career includes foundational years at Herbert Smith Freehills, followed by a significant tenure as the General Counsel at GT Insurance, where he excelled at guiding the company through complex legal and regulatory environments and fostering growth and stability. Further enriching his global perspective, Greg spent four years in the UK as the Head of Legal for the life business at Zurich Financial Services, gaining invaluable international experience. His consultancy period at Mercer allowed him to hone his business and client relationship skills.
