Taking a leap of faith
Louise Birritteri, Pikl
09 October 2019, 6pm-8:30pm
Louise Birritteri comes from a Sicilian background and a family of hard working entrepreneurs. She’s been involved in start-up from a young age and she was never afraid of starting her own business, knowing that she would make it a success.
In 2016 she spotted a gap in the insurance market and decided to go all in and start an online company called Pikl providing specialist insurance products to big sharing communities such as Airbnb and JustPark. She’s raised £2.5 million and is about launch products globally.
Louise will talk about taking a business from initial concept through to scaleup including bringing on board angels and private equity funding. Louise has backing from probably the most respected entrepreneur in the insurance market Sir Peter Wood CBE, founder of Direct Line and Bain Capital, the world-leading private equity firm.
She will also talk about the sharing economy and how it’s disrupting and creating new markets which are changing the way we live.
Louise has over 15 years of Insurance industry expertise gained in senior pricing and finance roles with Aviva, RAC, Co-op, Sainsbury’s and Gallagher.
