I have been part of the London Market for over 25 years. Not coming from a typical insurance background, coupled with caring responsibilities from a young age, has made me understand and respect that everyone goes through very different journeys to get where they are. Drawing on my own lived experiences I promote inclusivity in all its forms, creating and running initiatives to drive change.
Driven by smashing the ‘glass wall’ that exists between the City and the City fringes, I created the Insight programme.
Driven by smashing the ‘glass wall’ that exists between the City and the City fringes, I created the Insight programme, a bespoke programme aimed at those from diverse and low socioeconomic backgrounds. The programme includes work experience and the opportunity to apply for entry-level jobs. It is a practical way to give young people a path into the City and insurance that would not otherwise be available to them.
I also created the Life Cycle of Events, giving young adults a chance to change the direction of their lives by supporting those from disadvantaged backgrounds into a corporate insurance company. For me, it is not about being the best, it is about having visibility of and access to the best opportunities. My motto is: be the change you want to see in the world.
Where does my boundless energy come from? Running marathons and a healthy diet. Health is wealth, knowledge is power, which leads to success.
