He spent 11 years at Axa Global Healthcare before moving on to spend 15 years at Bupa International, several years at Generali Global Health, and, most recently, four years at Global Benefits Group as senior business development consultant.
Slabon-Adams has held finance and accounting leadership roles at Marsh & McLennan Companies and RFIB Group Ltd before moving to Global Benefits Group, where she spent the last three and a half years.
