Reinsurance medical underwriter
Munich Re
Emily Clark started her insurance career at BUPA; when the company transitioned and segregated into Friends Life and then Aviva, Clark’s career flourished as she advanced from a new business adviser to a medical underwriter. After a stint with Canada Life, Clark leapt into the world of reinsurance with Munich Re.
Over the course of her career, Clark is most proud of having been a dependable colleague. “No problem is too small,” she says. “The people around me know they can talk to me, and that’s a good feeling.”
While diversity in the industry has improved significantly in recent years, Clark believes there’s still some way to go for women in insurance. “Diversity is on the forefront of people’s minds at the moment; there has been a lot of movement towards a more diverse workforce,” she says. “However, I still believe this remains one of the greatest challenges facing women in insurance today. Progression and recognition are also on the forefront of my mind [as] the greatest challenges for women in insurance.”
Outside of her work at Munich Re, Clark has helped raise money for Save the Children and Awareness for Mental Health via the organisation’s Curry & Chaat event.
