Claire joined Swiss Re in 2011 in the Sydney office before relocating to London as the Head of Underwriting for the UK and Ireland. Having worked in underwriting in both direct office and reinsurance for over 15 years Claire brings a wealth of experience and international knowledge to her role, and continues to hold a strong belief that underwriting, in particular new approaches to risk assessment will be key to selling more protection and encouraging more people to buy insurance. Claire was heavily involved with many of the industry bodies in Australia including a board position on the Australian Life Underwriters and Claims Association (ALUCA) and looks forward to working with the rest of AMUS committee to bring thought leadership and development opportunity to our members and industry as a whole.
