Roger joined Swiss Re Corporate Solutions in 2015 as a Senior Underwriter for Energy Onshore, Mining and Utilities and is currently based in Sydney.

Roger was originally an Electrical Fitter from the electricity distribution sector where he finished that work period attending to electric shock, isolation of buildings from fire and emergency electrical repairs. He then spent some time in the building management industry in the high-rise hotel sector dealing with centralised air conditioning plant, steam supply and fire control, monitoring & prevention systems.

Roger joined the underwriting fraternity in machinery breakdown, mobile plant and claims adjustment with Lumley General Insurance, then NZI which morphed into CGU, where he finished there as the National Manager for Construction and Engineering. He then moved to the Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB) Australia start-up where he was the chief underwriting officer for engineering and construction in Australia. This gave Roger experience in the process of obtaining a licence to operate with APRA.

Roger later joined Allianz Australia as the National Manager for Construction and Engineering for a short time before moving across to Allianz Global as a Senior Underwriter in Engineering and Operational Mining and Power. Roger then moved into his current role at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions underwriting operational power, mining and onshore energy.
