As CEO of Insured Nomads, disrupting the way insurance is delivered, Andrew stands dead center at the intersection of insurance and travel safety innovation, building a delivery model for travel and global health insurance that will serve as the standard for the future of insurtech/fintech/travel tech. Passionate about protecting people around the world, Andrew is hyper-focused on building a new insurance model, so travelers, ex-pats, and digital nomads can explore the world freely and work within it with increased well-being and peace of mind.

Andrew’s extensive experience in the healthcare, insurance, and banking industries locally, regionally, and globally, and his early adoption of expatriate/nomadic life, have provided him with the unique experiences and perspective to break boundaries through the merging of technology with humanity. Having volunteered, traveled, and lived on several continents, he learned first-hand that insurance had to evolve to provide relevant, trustworthy, and intuitive, person-centered services that world travelers and remote workers needed as remote work increasingly became normalized and expected.

Andrew is a graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and currently working on a Master's in Big Data & Business Intelligence from the European Business School of Barcelona, married to co-founder Juliana Jernigan, with which they share three young adults. In addition to serving as CEO, Andrew is also a Strategic Advisor for Mobility Empowered, Shap, and Share Hope International, and co-host of the popular podcast, The New Nomad.
