How did you get started in insurance? Anyone in the insurance industry will tell you that no one chooses it. Insurance really is in my blood. Literally everyone in my family including my mother, my aunts, my cousins and even my husband have been involved in insurance. On summer school holidays I was brought into the office and began doing various internships to learn the industry.
I started in the file room at AIG, was promoted to the mail room and as I was getting ready to graduate I began to take the opportunity to meet the more senior staff in their offices. I met a gentleman who won a big promotion from New Jersey to the New York headquarters and reached out to him for my first proper job. He helped my resume be seen by the right people, and I started at AIG New York soon after.
When people ask me in what period I was at AIG, I say actually I’m a Greenberg girl!
