The winners of the inaugural Women in Insurance Awards were announced yesterday evening in a fantastic awards ceremony, with attendees from across the industry gathered to celebrate the success of their peers.
The awards ceremony followed a hugely successful Women in Insurance Summit, which saw over 200 delegates gathered to hear inspiring and thought-provoking talks from New Zealand fashion icon Karen Walker, Achmea Australia CEO Emma Thomas, acting Kiwi Insurance CEO Larissa Vaughan, and many others. Insurance Business extends a huge thank you to all of the speakers, all of whom shared incredible insights into leadership, career success, resilience and facing challenges.
This event was made possible thanks to the support of our platinum sponsor, AIA, and our silver sponsors; AIG, AllianzPartners, Delta Insurance and Suncorp New Zealand.
