Amy Stead holds one of the most important roles in CGU’s broker business, tasked with managing the insurer’s relationship with Steadfast, Australia’s largest broking network. Insurance Business has been told Stead’s experience, industry knowledge, passion and drive for insurance and the value it brings to customers and communities are what makes that relationship such a success. Last year, Stead led a strategic analysis of the Steadfast relationship when the CGU and Lumley brands were being brought together. Her work enabled CGU to maintain its engagement with Steadfast during the integration of the Wesfarmers insurance businesses, ensuring the momentum and value of the relationship was maintained. Described as a huge supporter of the broker distribution channel, Stead was previously a member of NIBA’s mentoring committee and in 2014 won the Ausure ‘ Service person of the year’ award. She says she’s determined to be a role model for the industry and to lead and shape it in whichever capacity she can.
