OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM
Our business is as much about people and relationships, as it is about technology and data. Here are just a few of the human faces behind the products and services we provide.
David Baker - Managing Director
David has spent his entire business life working with business information and developing information based products and solutions. From the mid '80's to early 90's, David worked in both Europe and in the UK for The Infocheck Group, before joining AMA (Hilton Malcolm Underwriting) to develop one of the first transactional online Trade Credit insurance solutions. In 1997, David became one of the founding Directors of Harvey Bowring Credit (now Amlin Credit) where he was responsible for the development and ongoing delivery of Creditinsure.com – one of the most advanced trade credit insurance products of its time.
David is married with two children. He adores red wine and really enjoys rugby, both at mini and senior level. He supports Newcastle United and plays a mean round of golf. He speaks pretty good French and would one day love to buy a house in Brittany.

Annette McGinley - Projects Director
Annette has spent many years working in software development, predominately in the media and insurance industries. While working for Saatchi & Saatchi’s media subsidiary in the mid 90’s, Annette was primarily responsible for the design and development of the first UK direct response analysis optimisation system.
Annette was one of the founding members of Amlin Credit, a Lloyd's based trade
credit insurance provider and was heavily involved in the development of their
online trade credit system - Creditinsure.com. During her stay at Amlin, Annette
was also involved in the development of a number of marine insurance systems
and participated extensively in the development of the marine hull insurance
product Marinsure, the B2C craft insurance product Boatinsure and the
marine war insurance product Marinsure War.
Although Annette has been known to visit the golf driving range, she breaks
the Aronova trend by not playing golf. Annette
considers shoe shopping in a foreign country the ultimate getaway.
