About the Insurance Business Australia’s Elite Women 2023 report
Insurance Business Australia invited insurance professionals from across the country to nominate exceptional female leaders for the annual Elite Women list. Nominees had to be working in a role that related to, interacted with, or in some way impacted the general insurance industry. They should also have demonstrated a clear passion for insurance. Nominators were asked to describe the nominee’s standout professional achievements over the past 12 months, along with her contributions to diversity and inclusion and how she has given back through volunteer roles and charity work. Recommendations from managers and senior industry professionals were also taken into account.
To narrow down the list to the final 50 Elite Women, the Insurance Business team reviewed all nominations, examining each individual’s meaningful contribution to the profession.
