Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Bow is a founder and entrepreneur with a technical grounding in computer programming and 12 years of hands-on experience building digital businesses across insurance, banking and online lead generation. He co-founded Hastings Direct and developed its sophisticated car insurance statistical engine, helping the company underwrite £100m+ GWP within three years and ultimately exit at £1.7 billion. Andrew has a track record of creating and monetising high‑traffic consumer services—selling a leading personal injury claims business and launching the GeneralSure price-comparison site in 2024—while also owning multiple niche online assets. Based in Sydney with board-level experience, he now consults independently on insurance and financial services and runs Digital Marketing Group, blending technical product thinking with commercial scaling expertise. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to turn advanced analytics into direct, profitable distribution channels rather than purely academic models.
