Andy joined Lloyd’s in April 2020, responsible for business development for Lloyd’s in the region.
For more than 40 years, I’ve worked across seven countries in the insurance industry, but the Middle East has always felt like home. I’ve spent over four decades working in Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, most recently serving as Regional Head for Lloyd’s of London based here in Dubai
Those years have shaped not only how I understand the region but also what I cherish most in this industry: genuine relationships, technical discipline, and immense respect for the markets we serve. I’ve been fortunate enough to build a network of senior, trusted connections within and around the industry, including insurers, brokers, and regulators.
That’s what led me to create Andywoodward Consulting, based here in Dubai.
Every day, I rely on a blend of global know-how and deep regional acumen to help firms understand the opportunity in the Middle East. I listen carefully, help you define what you want to achieve, and work with you to explore and tap into practical and sustainable solutions.
In the short time since launching my firm, I’ve been both humbled and energized by the confidence my new business partners have placed in me. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly.
