The Lloyd’s Market Association and Lloyd’s will host an underwriting talent summit on 24th November for female underwriting leaders as well as chief executive officers and chief underwriting officers to explore how best to advance female underwriting leadership and to discuss the policy changes necessary to drive change.

Sheila Cameron, CEO of the Lloyd’s Market Association, said: “It is well recognised that there is a significant shortage of women in senior underwriting roles in the Lloyd’s market. This event is a call to action to ‘ring the bell’ and implement meaningful change to facilitate the growth and development of the next generation of female underwriting leaders in our market.”

Rachel Turk, chief of market performance at Lloyd’s, added: “This summit is about delivering lasting, generational change. It’s not about virtue signalling – it’s about taking purposeful action, rooted in the clear understanding that diverse perspectives strengthen decision-making and drive better outcomes.”
