Executive director
ORIGIN INSURANCE BROKERS
Age: 23
Being young is sometimes seen as a barrier to letting your inner entrepreneur thrive, but Beau Munn believes nothing is too big or too small to tackle, no matter your age. “What I have found is that senior people within the industry quite like the frontward approach, and it somewhat reminds them of themselves at a young age,” he says. “And if anything, you learn from mistakes … and this can only make you better as a person and business.”
Munn sees insurance as a vehicle for positive social impact. As the executive director of Origin Insurance Brokers, a majority-owned Aboriginal business, he’s able to work with organisations to create a positive change and redirect the narrative around Aboriginal stereotypes. Munn’s long-term goals are to continue to grow Origin’s business with the support of corporates and SMEs, and to continue to employ and help grow future community leaders.
