Establishing Sapience - Drew Browne Founder & Director

For many years I had a successful career, working long hours for a government agency, advising on and teaching high level students in criminal law.  For over a year I’d been working an average of 60-70 hours a week.  Headaches, eye strain and a sore throat seemed to be just a way of life.  I finally saw a doctor and was rushed into urgent surgery to remove a growth from my voice box.  To cut a long story short, my illness cost me my job and my career.

I had to start life again

I had to start my life again – but this time with much healthier lifestyle and work habits. No one had ever taken the time to explain to me the value of financial advice, how to protect myself and my future with professional insurance, about choosing stable investment strategies, and how they all interacted with my life.  I saw that the financial industry was fragmented and confusing to the average person. Any advice was limited to what products a particular professional had to sell. There had to be a better way.  Over the following years, I gained all of my formal qualifications and in 1999 established the company that was to become Sapience Financial Investment Services.
