Who are Altus Consulting?
Our business was founded in 2005 with the belief that Financial Services should be faster and more efficient, and has subsequently grown to become a leader in strategic consulting and technology across Insurance, encompassing General Insurance, Specialty Markets, Protection and Health Insurance.
