Closing the gender gap in insurance

Where do women stand in the insurance industry? (Credit: Shutterstock)

Last November, I participated in a Women in Leadership workshop at the Connected Insurance conference in Chicago. As one of the women on the Breathe Life leadership team (a Montreal-based InsurTech) it made perfect sense for me to attend this event, and as I settled into my seat with my coffee and croissant, I was soon both impressed by the wit and grit of the women participating and disheartened (if not surprised) to learn about the state of women in the insurance industry.

There really just aren’t enough women in leadership roles!
