CEO, insurance broking
Towergate Insurance
Janice Deakin joined Towergate last year as CEO of insurance broking and director of its new retail broking division.
Her work in the industry started at Aviva, where she stayed for 13 years and worked through various roles in the general insurance business, including leading the broker and partnership business of Aviva UK and Ireland from 2009 to 2013.
In 2014, she moved to Arthur J Gallagher and became CEO of UK retail, managing a business of over 2,000 people, with more than £1bn of GWP placed for commercial insurance, and over 200,000 clients.
As part of her commitment to the HeForShe movement as adopted by Insuring Women’s Futures, Deakin hopes to be an example to other women in the industry by setting boundaries and keeping true while reaching for success.
