An experienced insurance executive, Shaun Standfield boasts a proven track record in leading large multi-disciplined insurance sales, claims and underwriting operations and has led significant change programs in both Australia and Asia. After spending eight years as chief underwriting officer for QBE’s Asia operations, Standfield moved into the managing director role for Insurance Advisernet – Australia’s largest authorised representative network in terms of GWP – in 2015.
Since then, Standfield has been instrumental in securing significant growth for the group. Towards the end of 2018, the organisation reported an impressive 21% year-on-year jump in brokered GWP. The group’s brokerage income also increased 12%, and earnings reached $75m, while the network welcomed 18 new practices and more than 1,000 new clients. Standfield will undoubtedly be in the spotlight in 2019 as he looks to repeat the same success.
