Abbie Conneely

Like many others in insurance, I fell into the industry.

Having finished my degree in 2015, I Googled ‘careers with a geography degree’ and found the Marsh Graduate Scheme. Starting as a Client Executive, I seized my opportunities to grow professionally, viewing the industry from the top down – selected for an Executive Assistant placement for Joe Grogan and then taking a secondment to Burberry.

Now at WTW, and having worked in various roles in my six years in insurance, I appreciate the necessity to promote I&D at every opportunity. I constantly strive to attract and reach new talent by organising events, mentoring and writing blogs for the NGIN Committee and the CII Outreach team.
