Underwriting specialist, cyber & technology
THE SOVEREIGN GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
Age: 33 Years in insurance: 10
When job-hunting, Melinda Parker Thompson was struck by the way professionals in the insurance industry retained their sense of fun, even after years in the business. “I wanted a career where I could work hard and play hard,” she says, “and while that’s a cliché, I find it truly does describe my career in insurance to date.”
A specialist in cyber & technology insurance, Parker Thompson first took on the product when it launched at her previous company and has since led presentations on the topic for the broker community. Outside of working in specialty lines, Parker Thompson is the secretary and treasurer of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire Ubique Chapter, a women’s charitable organization.
