Resident insurance expert

Providing comprehensive global Insurance guidance by bridging innovations with regulatory insights

The insurance industry is a vast 5.5 trillion-dollar market globally, which provides plenty of opportunities for disruption by innovative tech companies. However, the industry is also highly regulated (for good reasons) and has its own unique stakeholders in each region, which can make insurance hard to understand.

The Bret consultancy has over 10 years’ experience working in the insurance industry across the globe. From CIS, to ISO, to IFB, to HIS, we know 3-letter (and other) insurance abbreviations like no other and have experience in the intricacies of the market. Having us as a resident expert helps you build your products to better fit your market.

Business transformation

Tailored business growth strategies - From vision to execution and transformation

Growing a business is hard, scaling a business which is sustainable in the long run is even harder. During a scale-up phase a company’s focus is often on growth, making you potentially blind to internal- inefficiencies and inadequacies that are slowing you down. Having someone from the outside looking in allows you to focus on growing your business while maintaining operational excellence.

The Bret Consultancy has experience in ever-changing businesses and are uniquely positioned to advise; start-ups going into scale-up and scales-ups becoming a grown-up company. We support you throughout your transformation, from identifying KPIs and strategic objectives, to drafting the transformation approach, to executing a full business transformation.
