Age: 29

Winston Headford began his career in insurance three and a half years ago, joining the industry after working in the legal profession as both a paralegal and then a solicitor. He commenced QBE’s Graduate Program in 2014 and has since advanced quickly, now undertaking the role of corporate development manager in the insurer’s intermediary distribution division and tasked with achieving sustainable business growth and product diversification alongside managing the existing book of business. Headford is a member of the YP committee of the Australian Insurance Law Association, which organises networking and educational events for young insurance professionals including brokers, underwriters, lawyers, claims handlers and insurance service providers. He recently participated in the NIBA Mentoring Program and is keenly interested in encouraging other young professionals to join the industry. When it comes to times ahead, Headford would like to explore insurance markets outside of Australia and hopes to be considered for inclusion in QBE’s Global Leadership Academy.
