What inspires you to drive forward in your career?
Sharon
“I love the opportunity to positively influence others in my day-to-day. What inspires me to work at an insurtech start-up is the ability to contribute to positive change in the insurance industry that has been really good to me.
What also inspires me to drive forward is the fact that you can pivot and change your career path at any time. I have been in insurance, risk management, mining, power, and now technology. I am constantly seeking out new challenges that give me the opportunity to learn and grow.”

“There’s no one size fits all, and ultimately what motivates you personally will also help propel you professionally. My motivators are my insatiable curiosity, love of learning, and enjoyment of new challenges.
While I have spent almost 20 years within the insurance industry, my career path has not been linear. Early on, I didn’t realize why specific roles presented themselves. Upon reflection, my motivators made specific opportunities more appealing than others. When choosing your path, it’s essential to select one that works for you and not one that you think has been defined for you by others.”
Jackie
“I’ve been lucky enough throughout my career to be surrounded by women who have achieved a great deal of success. Their accomplishments have fostered my ambitions and strengthened my values. I also have the privilege to work alongside strong, motivated women. I feed off this and it pushes me to create bigger goals for myself and my career. I also love the opportunity to learn new things and, with a career in insurtech, there is no shortage of opportunities to learn and grow!
What inspires me to an even greater extent, though, is my daughter. I want to instill in her the confidence to live passionately, believe in herself, and know her value. I want to teach her to never give up. Things won’t always go as planned but there is always a way to achieve your goals.”
