Chris Brits, Riskonet South Africa

Riskonet South Africa brings a lot of value to its clients. Their local knowledge and experience are invaluable, as is their understanding of the local culture. But there is more, as Chris Brits, founder and CEO, explains. “What we bring is a global network that allows us to tap into resources and expertise, and this is what makes the difference.”

According to Chris Brits, there are several things that are very important for clients. “We want to be a trusted adviser. If you look at the context of South Africa, in the market, with things like corruption, fraud and other such issues, there's a trust gap in the local community. Riskonet has identified that gap, and this helps make us the trusted adviser of our clients. This is something that's extremely important to corporates.”

On its own, as well as through cooperation with its network partners, Riskonet South Africa brings a lot of value to its clients. “Risk is not only about downsides; it is also about opportunities. Even though our clients are finding it a challenge to deal with the current insurance environment, we have found them opportunities to actually make savings.”
