In this episode, David and I talk in detail about his career, from starting out as a developer to his move into leadership and being one of the only black men in his organisation. David gives some incredible insight into his career path and offers up some great advice for those looking to do the same. We also talk about David's life away from work as a family man with three young boys and how he wished he could have made it as a pro rugby player.

Episode 5: David Daiches, COO and Co-Founder at INSHUR

In my fifth episode of Behind the Desk with Mark Thomas, I'm joined by INSHUR COO and Co-Founder, David Daiches.

David and his co-founder Dan started INSHUR nearly six years ago to solve the problem of Uber drivers getting insurance quickly in New York. Since then, the company has expanded rapidly, going from 20 to over 150 employees in the last two years and now operating out the UK and Netherlands, as well as the US.

I loved speaking to David about his journey and the ups and downs of startup life. We discussed these views and where insurance needs to adapt and evolve and his vision for INSHUR over the coming years.

A truly inspiring conversation with a forward-thinking tech leader who started life in retail and is ended up changing the face of private hire career insurance.

So, without further delay, let's get behind the desk with David Daiches.
