Chris Curtin, Chief Executive Officer, AA Insurance and winner of the 2022 ANZIIF Lifetime Achiever Award considers helping people to be ‘at the very heart’ of what the insurance industry does.

He is ‘genuinely proud to work in insurance, helping customers and communities recover from unexpected and sometimes lifechanging events.’

A thriving business

Under Curtin’s stewardship, AA Insurance has thrived, growing from a start-up venture into one of New Zealand’s leading direct personal insurance companies, with over 1,000 employees, delivering more than a million policies to half-a-million New Zealanders.

In recent years, the company has consistently been ranked in the top six organisations according to the Kantar Corporate Reputation Index, an annual survey of New Zealanders that rates companies’ performance across the pillars of trust, leadership, corporate and social responsibility and success.

‘We are excited about the possibility that an insurance organisation could attain the aspirational goal of getting to number one,’ Curtin says of the achievement.
