As New Zealanders experience more frequent and severe weather events, it’s clear that insurance is more important than ever, says Glynn Howell, Executive Manager, Commercial & Personal Lines Distribution at NZI.
“We can expect to see some very real conversations around managing these growing climate risks, whether that be through product changes or changes to how brokers and insurers structure their clients’ programs,” says Howell, who is among the speakers at ANZIIF’s upcoming New Zealand Business Breakfast event.
Championing the industry
Howell has worked in the insurance industry across New Zealand for more than two decades. He started his career at Aon before moving into the underwriting side of the industry with Lumley.
Howell’s experience includes commercial broking, underwriting, local, regional and national management, as well as managing offshore partners in India.
He says each organisation and role has provided different opportunities to enhance his personal development.
