Before starting OneSpark, he was a qualified actuary who produced hundreds of award-winning insurance products, helped start a bank, and even contributed to the creation of one of South Africa’s largest Social Impact Bonds.

The primary goal of OneSpark Insurance is to constantly innovate for the benefit of its clients and the quest of a better society.

This was a key priority for Smith when establishing OneSpark, since he has always thought that each individual has the potential to influence and drive the world forward.

Smith describes the road that lead him to start OneSpark in this What’s Next interview, as well as how OneSpark’s industry-defining AI algorithm improves on legacy insurance models.

Smith also demonstrates why OneSpark’s world-first “Pay-As-You-Need” life insurance concept is better to other life cover providers’ traditional approaches.

He goes on to talk about dynamic income protection before outlining how OneSpark leverages technology to improve customer service.
