Our Team
Meet the people building the AI Desk for insurance. We're a global team solving real problems for advisers across AU, NZ, and UK.

Simon Archer
CEO & Co-Founder
Founder of PolicyCheck with 17 years of experience across software development, enterprise product management, and regulated financial services. Before PolicyCheck, I led large-scale digital transformation programs, architected data-heavy systems, and drove enterprise sales across banks and insurers in NZ and Australia. I've spent years inside adviser workflows — from compliance to advice creation to document-driven processes — and saw first-hand how broken, manual, and error-prone insurance distribution is.

Andrew Clouston
Co-Founder & Chief Commercial Officer
Serial entrepreneur and former Chief Customer Officer at a major Australasian insurer, with two decades of experience across distribution, customer strategy, and high-growth teams. I've built adviser networks, run go-to-market for new insurance products, and deeply understand how brokers sell, retain, and service customers. At PolicyCheck, I bring commercial strategy, insurer relationships, and distribution expertise — ensuring our AI platform fits the realities of adviser workflows while unlocking new revenue opportunities and scale.

James Farrell
