Gwilym Pugh
Gwilym’s journey from environmental scientist to insurance innovator began in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Standing among the world’s most incredible biodiversity, then witnessing devastating destruction within the span of an hour, he realised the urgent need to redirect the insurance industry’s trillion-pound investment power towards protecting our planet.
With a first-class degree in environmental science and two decades in financial services, Gwilym combines scientific insight with practical expertise to revolutionise how insurance works. His previous success includes building multiple financial services and insurance companies – but this time, he’s driven by a bigger mission.
As a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, WWF UK ambassador, and speaker at COP26, Gwilym is committed to proving that finance can be a force for good. Through Planet Protection, he’s turning that vision into reality, one policy at a time.
