Vice president and account executive
Transatlantic Reinsurance
In addition to her role working with regional US clients as vice president and account executive at Transatlantic Reinsurance, Susan Zdroik also heads the Association of Professional Insurance Women, which was founded in 1976 to support the advancement of female insurance professionals and recognize their contributions to the industry. APIW provides members with opportunities for professional development, networking and career advancement, and is dedicated to growing the next generation of insurance professionals through scholarship grants. The association celebrated its 40th birthday last December, during which Zdroik received insights from many attendees.
In line with APIW's campaign to ‘#thinkBIG2017,’ Zdroik hopes to lead the organization to accomplish several goals, including launching a new mentoring program with St. John’s School of Risk Management, reworking the Women of the Year Award selection process, expanding to other cities and rethinking membership requirements to provide young professionals more opportunities to get involved with APIW.
