Background

About Dale Smith

I’m a chartered accountant with a background in owning and running medium-sized businesses. Throughout my career, I’ve always found buying insurance to be more painful than it should be. When the opportunity came to dive deeper into insurance, I took it, and that’s how JAVLN came to be.JAVLN aims to make insurance easier for everyone. I’m passionate about bringing innovation to this industry. My journey with businesses started at 25 when I took a leap of faith, using all the assets I had to buy a transport business. I grew it from 25 to 200 people by rolling up my sleeves and getting stuck in. Hard work and earning success have been values I’ve carried from the start.Next, I ran a business importing branded products and selling them through resellers. When I sold that, I kept the small software arm, which became JAVLN. Established in 2011, JAVLN’s designed to tackle the outdated, paper-driven insurance industry, with a modern policy lifecycle management platform. Today, the insurance industry is increasingly recognising the importance of technology. More organisations are incorporating tech into their strategies, and it’s exciting to see platforms like JAVLN being embraced as valuable partners in enhancing productivity and customer engagement.
