Prior to that, Kinsella worked at CoreLogic as a sales executive for two and a half years, before which he worked as a consultant for a few years.

These upfront views of risk gaps and risk impacts also have product potential, as they can provide data-structures that could be used to underpin triggers for insurance, reinsurance, or other forms of risk transfer, including parametric.
