Guillaume Bonnissent
CEO
Guillaume Bonnissent is Quotech’s founder and CEO. He’s also an underwriter with more than two decades’ experience, first at Euler, then at Hiscox for 15 years, then for four years as Underwriting Director at the MGA White Oak. In that last job he wanted to buy-in a decent underwriting platform, but couldn’t find a supplier who understood what an underwriter really needs, day to day. But he had learned some coding at college, so he built a platform himself to do the job, sold it, launched Quotech, and the rest is history.
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is to understand insurance business processes and the sector’s complex value chain like a native, then build systems which remove the inherent inefficiencies, not through chuck-it-all-out-and-start again approach, but incrementally.

Marco Seoane
Senior Developer
Marco Seoane is Quotech’s front-end man, a Senior Developer with five years in the game, most of it with RecTech and MarTech early-stage B2B SaaS companies (before he found his home in insurTech, obviously). Marco says the best part about working in tech is that jeans and a t-shirt are acceptable workplace attire, but then his office is anywhere in London with an internet connection and a decent coffee. Give him those two, and he’ll get busy building and creating. “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop,” Marco says, as he pushes towards his self-imposed Friday production.
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is all about reducing the cost of recording, managing, aggregating, and communicating about data, both cognitively and operationally.

Chris Pickford
Lead Quality Assurance Engineer
Chris Pickford is Quotech’s Lead Quality Assurance Engineer. He moved here to insurTech after eight years spent testing critical systems developed for accountancy. Eastbourne is his home by the sea, where he and Maisie, his Staffie, go where the connection is best to ensure everything works as it should for Quotech clients. “Being a start-up allows us to focus on any issues we face quickly and efficiently,” Chris says, “which helps us find the best way to work, and lets us create amazing solutions to any issues our clients face.”
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is building insurTech software that’s intuitive for users, and creating easier ways of working to make sure the major pain points no longer exist.

Nick Melis
Chief Technology Officer
Nick Melis is Quotech’s Chief Technology Officer. He’s spent 16 years building things, which he likes to do with technology because it doesn’t need heavy machinery or complicated equipment, yet he can still make a global impact. He’s built things in multiple sectors, but likes doing so for Quotech because: “we’re an insurTech building products for insurance companies, rather than just a bunch of techies trying to break into the insurance market. The people fixing clients’ problems have experienced them first hand.”
Nick says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is to know your clients, to really take time to observe, appreciate, and think about their pain points, and to then come up with a creative solution that saves them time and delivers tangible value.

David Pay
Product Manager
David Pay is a passionate gamer who is so focussed on getting the details right that he built his own gaming PC when he was only 10. He’s Quotech’s Product Manager, with six years’ development experience amassed in the wealth management and manufacturing sectors before moving to insurTech. “I like the fact that the landscape is ever-changing, with a constant evolution of what is possible,” he says. He works from his box-room in Sidcup, Kent, where also he keeps his collection of retro gaming consoles.
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is to identify users’ pain points then come up with effective solutions. He describes Quotech as a group of likeminded individuals who have a passion about making the best possible software.

Dr Shyam Reyal
Senior Developer
Dr Shyam Reyal (PhD, BSc(Eng.), MIET) is a Sun/Oracle Certified Java Veteran and a Quotech Senior Developer. We’ve been lucky to lure him from the lofty world of academia where, during 17 years of programming, he’s been the Director of Innovation at the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, a Visiting Researcher at Cambridge University, an Associate Lecturer of Computing at St Andrews University, CTO of the St Andrews startup NOMAD, and an ex-Googler at Google Research in Mountain View, California. He’s developed everything from predictive mobile text entry to remote assessment solutions. Now, from the “wonderful” co-working space called the Flour Mill in Dundee, Scotland, Shyam designs, implements, and tests solutions designed to solve Quotech clients’ real-world business challenges.
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is ‘Participatory Design’, when actual end-users are part of the design team. “Luckily, that’s our CEO,” Shyam adds.

Nicholas St John
Chief Commercial Officer
Nicholas has been in the tech sector for more than 35 years. He witnessed London’s multiple modernisation misfires, and now celebrates its successes. “It’s great to see how technology can immediately benefit a business, and improve performance and efficiency,” he says. A veteran of multiple technology startups in insurance and telecoms, he has a comprehensive understanding of what has to be done to build a business from the ground up. And with decades of customer service success behind him, he knows how to deliver for clients.
He says the secret to making a truly useful technology app for insurance is to ensure it is simple to understand and use by removing all barriers and delivering practical functionality. “Navigation, utility, and simplicity are key,” he says.
