Mariette Lee joined CHES Special Risk after serving as an underwriting assistant at Zurich. While at Zurich, Lee was the committee lead for the firm’s Women’s Innovation Network, an initiative that promotes women’s career growth and potential while focusing on gender equality and diversity for all.
Now as a deputy underwriter at CHES, Lee enjoys educating people on the benefits of insurance. “She believes that in order to fully master the industry, she has to get out there, meet the customers, build and maintain relationships, and deliver on the expectations of the customer by walking the extra mile,” a colleague says.
Highly active in her community, Lee gives back by volunteering for various causes and events, including the women’s group Look at Me Now!, for which she visits women’s shelters to provide self-care sessions and kits.
