An experienced veteran, Pardoe brings over 30 years of expertise within artificial intelligence (AI) towards the role.
Throughout his career, Pardoe has advised senior officials on different ways that they can scale their adoption of AI technology in order to deliver many benefits towards their business.
Moreover, he has worked across a variety of different sectors, ranging from Financial Services to Government, Retail and Public Services, having recently completed projects for the Royal Air Force and the NHS.
In the role, Pardoe will be expected to identify strategic opportunities to enhance the client experience through data driven insights and intelligent automation.

His appointment gives us all an opportunity to benefit from his wealth of experience and expertise from other industries and look for new ways we can deploy AI across our business and platform. We have a global first track record of delivering unique solutions by combining existing and new technologies in ways that maximise value for our clients and their customers. Andy has already hit the ground running, and I can’t wait to see what more we can achieve together for our clients and the wider insurance industry.”
Addressing his appointment, Pardoe said: “AI is already driving considerable change across the insurance industry – but there is so much more it can do. The skill is understanding how to apply it and it’s this that will make a real difference. The right application can create far reaching change across the whole insurance value chain. I’m looking forward to working with Tim and others at INSTANDA to find new ways to drive efficiencies and innovation that will create real value to not only our clients, but their clients too.”
