Shaunna Bell

In 2012 I had to choose between a summer working in the Olympic Park or a summer internship at in construction insurance broking.

Despite only being 21, I chose the sensible option and opted to kickstart my career in insurance. I went on to complete the Aon graduate scheme, powering through my ACII exams whilst also throwing myself in to all the networking events I could find. I spent 2 years on the board of NGIN during its formative years, and learned so much about the importance of owning your career.

I have now been at Marsh for over 5 years, where I initially led a team of international wholesale brokers during the toughest D&O market seen for decades. Now I am the UK Placement Leader for the Management Liability practice in FINPRO. This basically means I am our face to the market, managing our placement strategy, insurer relationships and overall market interaction. I am the person people call when things don’t go to plan! I like to solve problems, and love working within a big, high energy team.
