Creating diversity at the top – Giselle Walther

Giselle Walther, Group Managing Director for Aon Inpoint across Asia Pacific, believes she was destined to work in the insurance industry.

‘My mother and father both worked in insurance and had done for most of their careers so there was definitely some less-than-subtle pushing in that direction,’ she laughs.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE

Walther, who has over 25 years of international experience working for some of the world’s major insurers completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Macquarie University, majoring in Marketing and Statistics, followed by a Graduate Diploma of Insurance, at Deakin University.

Her early career saw her secure a position on the Graduate Trainee Program with Minets, which she says gave her ‘great exposure across multiple facets of the broking and insurance industry’.

Prior to accepting her role at Aon Inpoint, the management consulting and advisory arm of Aon, Walther was Head of Corporate Market Management Americas at Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty in New York and Head of Broker Distribution at Allianz SE in Munich.
