Head of ebroking, UK & Ireland
Chubb
Diane Davidson got her first view of insurance while tagging along with her dad, who worked in life assurance. She decided to have her first work experience at Eagle Star, eventually becoming one of the first female sales managers, and went on to gain her ACII and a degree in insurance management.
Chubb’s inclusive environment has empowered Davidson to arrive at her position as a true digital leader. In her 11 years with the company, she has progressed from managing a team of two in financial lines to running the regional financial lines team for the UK and Ireland (UKI); she now leads the entire e-trading strategy for UKI. Recently, Davidson led Chubb’s 21st-century work group to form the company’s e-trading vision for the next five years. Her focus in the coming year will be on the launch of a new, client-centric online platform and a pipeline of new e-products.
Davidson advises women to keep and present their true selves: “Be true to yourself, do not be someone that you are not, work hard, and do not be afraid to speak up and follow your desired career path.”
