Earlier work
Between 1995 and 2000 I was IDA Ireland's international insurance representative. I was quoted regularly in the international insurance trade press, and I spoke at or chaired fourteen conferences in Dublin, London, Bermuda, Grand Cayman, San Francisco and Japan. Most of that predates the web and is no longer online. The Business Insurance piece above is what survives.
