Martin Hennessy

Martin Hennessy, I'm Business Acquisition Lead for the East of Ireland for VHI, Jess.

So I've been at VHI for 38 years.

My background is sales and in recent times I've moved into the FDI role alongside my colleague Anne-Marie Brophy who's also here in the US with me.

That's incredible.

I mean, you know, like it's there's such an emphasis now on wellness and prevention.

And like we're very big in that space.

And I suppose we're very much in the health care provision space now as well.

So we're not just an insurer.

We have a health care.

We've built a health care system for our members.

So the VHI 360 network is uniquely available to our members.

We have dedicated wellness consultants who work with our corporate clients and stuff like that.

So we all know that a healthy and happy workforce is a productive workforce.

So that's what we do.

We support our corporate clients in terms of making sure that their staff are healthy and happy.

Absolutely.

To be fair, the likes of your tech firms over here would have been very much ahead of the curve in terms of wellness and have been for many, many years.

And, you know, they have scaled into Ireland, so they've brought their wellness propositions over too.

But it's very much expected now from a healthcare partner that you provide them with a very, very strong wellness proposition alongside a really, really good health insurance and dental insurance proposition as well.

Yeah, look, the focus on AI, it's all over the shop.
