Rose Goslinga

I am not your typical insurance salesperson. For the last eleven years i've been part of teams pioneering agriculture insurance, first with the award winning program Kilimo Salama, of the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture and now with Pula, an award winning InsureTech. At Pula I lead a team that develops and implements data driven financial solutions that assist millions of small-scale farmers across 12 countries in Africa, safeguarding their crops and allowing farmers to invest in their farms through financial tools that take advantage of the rising use of mobile technology. I grew up in Tanzania but now call Nairobi home. I have a Master’s degree with Distinction from the University of London and am a Poptech and Mulago Social Innovation Fellow. The kind people at TED gave me an opportunity to talk about my passion: the impact and potential of agriculture insurance.
