Andrew Jernigan is an insurance technology pioneer who began his journey as a digital nomad in 2000. That then turned into a lifestyle of what he calls a “slowmad” as he became an expat working across 5 continents with extended seasons in many countries.
Having represented over 25 of the leading companies in insurance he found crucial elements that were missing in providing comprehensive coverage. He identified the ignored needs that legacy policies refused to cover and created a fresh reimagined insurance for the international lifestyle.
Most importantly Andrew felt the need to help others through contributing to social causes because he says he wants to see people thrive, grow and be their best.
Andrew believes that in order to make impact on the remote work population, a stronger, tailor-made solution that truly responds to the need of a free-spirited world explorer needs to be created.
When it comes to insurance for the world traveler, Insured Nomads is utilizing the finest in available technologies by connecting customers with a global network of hospitals, health care providers, emergency response services, and integrated features that no other travel insurance company offers.
Andrew shares a behind the scenes look into his company as well as the charitable efforts he’s implemented into his business model.
Who Is Being Served By Insured Nomads
Insured Nomads provides the most robust solutions for protecting health, financial stability, personal safety, and security. They have developed the first insurtech (insurance with advanced tech-enabled features) for remote workers, digital nomads, expats, and global employees.
This product allows for better benefits at reasonable pricing and exceptional levels of service in multiple markets direct to the consumer and through select brokers and strategic partnerships.
Family Support
Juliana, one of the founders of Insured Nomads, is also Andrew’s wife. Andrew refers to her as a “genius in business and global health.” She has been a point of clarity and balance in their pursuit of excellence.
The willingness to ride the wave of company building a team of insurance executives and investors has been magnified through her support, flexibility and hope that she exudes.
Juliana is a travel medicine and global health physician, so together with a highly experienced team the Insured Nomads team has become more like a family, passionately innovative and creating solutions that exceed the needs of the end customer.
Andrew and Charity
Andrew and his wife spent several years in rural Ghana, West Africa working to provide healthcare to those who could not afford it or make the journey to hospitals.
As an avid traveler who has seen quite a lot of the ills of society Andrew is passionate about doing what he can to alleviate human trafficking. Therefore, while his aim is to provide a technologically advanced insurance product, he is also generating funds to powerfully combat human trafficking.
Today, that mentality to give back, plays a large role in company culture as they give back to charities like Not For Sale, an organization that fights the exploitation of vulnerable people around the world.
The first-hand experience as a digital worker and global traveler has propelled Andrew’s passion for providing insurance of the highest quality for digital and remote workers.
