He has worked with more than 40 developing country governments to develop improved risk finance schemes in close collaboration with bilateral and multilateral development institutions and the private insurance and reinsurance industry. His work has had a major influence on policy and practice at a global, country and organisational level, and his book, Dull Disasters? How Planning Ahead Will Make A Difference is a seminal work on disaster risk financing.
