The list, curated from a pool of over 500 nominees, highlights individuals who played pivotal roles across various facets of the insurance arena.

Methodology

The objective was to pinpoint individuals who spearheaded innovative initiatives, propelling Australia’s insurance sector forward in the aftermath of the significant challenges faced that year. The team also factored in the candidates’ past accolades as part of the selection criteria.

On completion of the research, 50 key figures emerged.
