Episode 44

Graeme Young

“I couldn’t even list the (amount of) learnings I’ve gained from working in the insurance industry.”

“It’s taken me 30 years to find the job that I really enjoy” and now that he has, Executive Search Consultant Graeme Young has some sage advice for career development in the insurance market. Foremost is that a career in claims could be the best career you could ever choose because he believes that the claims environment is where you are exposed to even more of what goes on in the world. And once you’ve got a dearth of experience and knowledge behind you, it’s how you impart that knowledge and experience into conversations that you might be having with your clients that will make you stand out.

He is also a staunch advocate for global experience stating people may also wish to consider finding a role in another Country to expose themselves to the different working of that market.
