Age: 32

Laura Goldsworthy joined the insurance industry in 2007 as a member of Arch Insurance Europe’s Exposure Management team, before moving to terrorism underwriting a year later. In 2011, she was promoted to head of the division. Recognising the potential within the political violence market, she encouraged the board to broaden the parameters of its established terrorism book and move the portfolio into new territories before moving to Advent Underwriting in 2013.

Now the head of political violence and terrorism at Advent, after less than a decade in the market, she has consistently demonstrated her ability to recognise market trends, and to work with brokers, carriers and clients to break new ground in challenging territories. Goldsworthy has already created an immensely popular new product for the Middle East, launched a consortium in Latin America, and is opening up new markets in Africa by developing products to fill coverage gaps for SMEs, generating previously untapped streams of revenue.

Hers is already a remarkable career of innovation-inspired expansion that challenges the borders of insurability and she has firmly established herself as one of the market’s future leaders.
