“Joanne has spent her entire career in Marine insurance and Maritime Law. She began her profession in London as a solicitor but after more than five years, made the move to America to become an Adjuster/Surveyor. After spending over 22 years working for other companies, she made the bold move in 2021 to start her own company. Although she is highly regarded in the industry, it was a massive achievement and she successfully created a thriving woman owned business.
Joanne’s expertise in marine insurance has been instrumental in resolving complex and challenging cases that involve maritime claims. Her in-depth knowledge of the industry, coupled with her ability to identify and filter the relevant data, has enabled her to provide valuable insights into claims for marine insurance.
Joanne’s professionalism and integrity are reflected in her approach to every loss. She has a meticulous eye for detail, and her tenacity is second to none. She is also a great team player, always willing to lend her expertise and experience to colleagues and clients.”
Congratulations, Joanne!!
