Our Team

James Blair, Chief Executive Officer

James started his insurance career in London in 2017 after relocating from New Zealand, where he had spent eight years pursuing a professional racing career. Initially working in Aviation Claims and International Property Underwriting, he seized the chance in 2021 to merge his insurance expertise with his motorsport passion by leading the Motorsport division at Carroll & Partners. This experience led him to co-found PODIUM INSURANCE BROKERS with Clement Novalak.
