He spent his nascent years implementing systems for insurance brokers, specialising in the marine insurance sector. thryve emerged out of the Eikos Group with Sean as its leader, continuing its mission to embrace leading insurance and risk-management technologies and introduce them to thryve’s clients. When he is not focused on the future of insurance or GRC, Sean follows his passion project in Wakkerstroom, a country restaurant called Thyme Out, and pursues goals in conservation and community development.
