Daniel is a pioneer in the field of drone insurance in South Africa, with 17 years of experience in the insurance industry.
Since 2015, he has specialised in understanding and addressing the unique needs of the rapidly growing drone sector. As Head of Drones at Optimum Financial Services Group, Daniel leads efforts to develop innovative drone insurance and financial solutions tailored to the South African market.
Recognised as the country’s leading broker for drone insurance, Daniel has dedicated himself to mastering the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) rules and regulations governing drone operators. His expertise extends to partnering with insurers to design a comprehensive drone insurance product, providing a holistic approach to meet the specific needs of commercial drone operators.
Daniel’s work goes beyond policy creation. He leverages data and trends from flight logs and drone-collected information to assess claims accurately. This data-driven approach enables him to determine the causes of accidents, protect pilots against fraudulent claims, and safeguard insurers from unwarranted losses.
Passionate about the transformative potential of drones, Daniel combines his professional expertise with a personal commitment to the industry. When not advancing drone insurance solutions, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children and pursuing his hobby of restoring vintage motorcycles.
