At VIPR, delivering value to our customers in the delegated underwriting space is a top priority. Garry White, Portfolio Manager, brings a wealth of experience that drives this mission forward.
Garry's journey began with a degree in Business Information Systems from University College Cork in Ireland. This multidisciplinary program, which combines computer programming, business analysis, project management, and business development, laid a solid foundation for his career. His first major role was with AIG, where he spent eight years honing his skills in business analysis and project management.

This approach not only ensures successful project delivery but also builds strong, trusting relationships with customers.
One of Garry's notable achievements at VIPR includes modernising the bordereau management process for a new customer who had previously managed all data offline.
By transitioning their data into VIPR’s product suite, Garry's team not only streamlined their operations but also provided robust reporting capabilities through VIPR's Insights product. This transformation enables the customers to make data-driven decisions and stay ahead in a competitive market.
Garry's expertise extends beyond technical implementation. He excels in fostering a collaborative environment within the VIPR team. His ability to communicate effectively with customers and team members alike ensures that projects are delivered on time, to an agreed scope, within budget and to VIPR’s high quality standards.
