Kate Murray, Executive and Professional Lines Liability Underwriter at Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance New Zealand, is the winner of the 2023 Donna Walker Award for Emerging Talent. She’s making her mark in the industry she joined just over three years ago.

Powerful legacy

Murray watched the live stream of the awards announcements with her father, a longstanding and well-respected commercial insurance broker, whose own rewarding insurance career inspired Murray to join the industry.

“This was a lovely moment I got to share with dad. He was very proud,” Murray shares.

One of the biggest supporters of her insurance career, Murray’s father passed on plenty of his insurance wisdom to her. “It meant so much to him to see me continue his legacy,” she says.

Watching the awards ceremony together is one of the last memories Murray has with her father, as he passed away from a terminal illness the day after the award was announced.
