With over 25 years of experience in the insurance industry and a coaching qualification since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of combining my professional expertise and passion to help individuals and businesses unlock their full potential.

I started my career as a precocious 22-year-old with a first-class business degree, eager to make a difference. Within 18 months of joining my first broker, I earned a leadership position and continued to thrive, taking on larger teams and greater responsibilities. Recognised as a high achiever, I was placed on a talent management programme and soon headhunted by an ambitious independent broker to manage their private client team.

This role was a turning point. It allowed me to embrace new challenges and opportunities, including gaining a qualification at Henley Business School’s prestigious Essentials of Management programme. From there, I was headhunted again, this time to my dream role as Head of London Art and Private Clients at Hiscox.

At Hiscox, I had responsibility for £60m in gross written premium (GWP) and managed a team of talented underwriters and ambitious professionals. Under my leadership, the region consistently exceeded sales targets, and I found immense satisfaction in developing and supporting my team's career aspirations.

In 2012, after the birth of my first child, I transitioned to a part-time sales role. By 2013, I joined a coaching programme aimed at improving the sales performance of development underwriters. It was here that I discovered my true passion for coaching. I worked with regional teams, witnessing their growth in confidence, performance, and service delivery - a truly rewarding experience.

In 2018, my family and I embarked on a new adventure, moving to the South of France. While I took a step back from the insurance world, I remained deeply connected to my passion for coaching and personal development. With the rise of virtual meetings and remote working, I re-joined the insurance community in 2023, working with Camelot Consulting, an insurance-focused management consultancy.

Why Coaching and Mentoring Matter

Throughout my career, I’ve recognised a vast pool of untapped talent in the insurance industry. Coaching and mentoring are transformative tools for managers and sales professionals to achieve their potential, improve performance, and drive growth—for themselves and the businesses they represent.

As an insurance coach, I help individuals and teams:

• Achieve targets: Whether financial goals, 360-degree feedback, or other performance measures, I guide them to exceed expectations.
• Grow confidence and self-belief: Through tailored coaching, I empower professionals to step into their full potential.
• Navigate challenges: By understanding where they are now and envisioning where they could be, I support them in reaching their goals.

My Approach

I work with insurance businesses, including companies, brokers, and MGAs, to align team development with organisational goals. Together, we create tailored frameworks that support growth, build collaboration, and drive results.
