About

Flock is an AI-powered insurance provider for commercial motor fleets. We’re on a mission to make the world quantifiably safer, with telematics-powered insurance that reduces crash frequency by over 10% year-on-year. Hundreds of commercial fleets trust us to keep their drivers safe and their vehicles on the road. We work with global brokers, including Aon and Marsh, backed by investors such as Octopus, Social Capital and Anthemis. As of February 2026, Flock has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Admiral Group for $109M, subject to regulatory approval and completion. As for me: I am an Engineer at heart, with an M.Eng in EEM (Engineering, Economics and Management) from Oxford. My Master's thesis explored whether it is possible to destroy brain tumours using high-intensity focused ultrasound, without damaging the surrounding brain tissue. I went on to study at Cambridge University (M.Phil, Technology Policy) where I published papers on autonomous vehicles, drones, and AI. This included co-authoring papers for The Centre for the Study of Existential Risks (CSER), an Elon-funded research institute focused on managing the most significant risks we face as a species. I like to invest in companies I love, from pre-seed (e.g., Sequence, The AI Underwriting Company, Jack & Jill) through to late stage (e.g. SpaceX, Anthropic, Anduril). I strive to support budding entrepreneurs whenever I can. If you’re a Founder wondering how to get started, feel free to drop me a line - I will try to help you out.
