Barbara Chesire

Why We Picked Barbara

Barbara has worked in the insurance industry in Africa for the last 15 years, with a focus on inclusive insurance and microinsurance as tools for poverty alleviation. She has pioneered several initiatives including design of the first Human-Wildlife Conflict Insurance Scheme and development of ResilientME!, a gamification tool used across Africa to educate smallholder farmers and microentrepreneurs about financial planning and insurance. She is a lover of long-walks, plays the piano(ish) and in another lifetime would have been a better golfer!
