Rural Affinity Portfolio Manager Jess Corfield planned to complete the ANZIIF’s Reinsurance International Study Course (RISC) in 2020, but after two false starts, was “very thankful” to attend it in person in 2023.
Hungry for knowledge
Corfield, who began her insurance career at the company in 2015 in a data entry role, has worked hard to build a strong capability across the technical and relationship aspects of underwriting.
Currently in the role of Portfolio Manager, Corfield is always keen to develop herself further and was excited to explore everything the RISC has to offer.
“I went into RISC with the aim of discovering more about the interplay of different reinsurance programs in practice,” she says. “I walked away with that and so much more.” Including the prestigious John Allison Award.
Accountability and integrity
Born in Sydney and educated at Brigidine College and Macquarie University, Corfield had no previous connections with the insurance industry.
