We are incredibly proud to share that two of our senior leaders have been recognised in the Insurance Business Asia-Pacific Elite Women 2026 list, one of the most prestigious acknowledgements of female leadership in the insurance industry across the region.
This year, 70 women across Asia, Australia and New Zealand were named from a field of nominees assessed on leadership impact, influence, innovation and commitment to progress. To have two leaders recognised from our organisation is something we don’t take lightly.
A Big Moment for a Small but Mighty Team
We are a collection of businesses spanning insurance, underwriting, SaaS and premium funding and we turned 40 last year. For a team of just over 40 people, having two leaders named on a list of this calibre is, frankly, a big deal. And we’re going to own that.
Rebecca: Driving Strategy and Technical Excellence
Rebecca, our Chief Insurance Officer, has been instrumental in shaping the technical and strategic heart of our business. She brings deep insurance expertise and a forward-thinking approach to everything she touches and her seat on the Women in Insurance board reflects a commitment to the industry that extends well beyond our four walls.
Kate: Building a Culture Designed to Thrive
Kate, our Chief People Officer, joined with a rich background in diversity, equity and inclusion and has been a driving force behind building a workforce that is genuinely designed to thrive. Not by accident but by design.
Transforming the Business from the Inside Out
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is what it represents about the way these two leaders have worked together. Over the past year, Rebecca and Kate have collaborated to reshape how our organisation operates from the inside out by building the team by design and redesigning team structures, shifting the focus from presence to output, embedding a values-driven culture, and overhauling the systems our people use every day.
The Results Speak for Themselves
The results speak for themselves: employee turnover reduced by 80%.
Read that again. Eighty percent.
In an era where talent retention is one of the greatest challenges facing businesses of every size, that number is extraordinary and it didn’t happen by chance. It happened because two leaders decided that engagement, culture and people-first thinking weren’t soft initiatives. They were a business strategy.
Building the Future of Work
As we look ahead, our focus continues to evolve. We are actively exploring how AI and emerging technologies can be integrated into our workforce ecosystem in ways that support our people to stay engaged, energised and not overwhelmed. The future of work is something we’re building intentionally, not reacting to.
Looking Ahead with Pride
We are proud of Rebecca and Kate. We are proud of the team that surrounds them. And we are proud to be the kind of organisation, at 40 years young, that still has the appetite to do things differently.
