“Women make up more than half of the industry, and we need to keep moving women forward in leadership positions. I’m a huge proponent of fostering talent for the P&C insurance industry” LYNN OLDFIELD
WHEN LYNN OLDFIELD joined AIG in 1991, it cemented her
decision to build her career within P&C insurance. Since then, she has weathered the challenges brought by the global financial crisis and helped the company restore its annual gross written premium volume to billion-dollar levels. In the aftermath of the Southern Alberta floods in 2013, Oldfield rallied a group of commercial carriers to issue advance payments to insureds to support their rebuilding efforts. The past year was also fruitful for Oldfield, despite stiff competition in the market. AIG managed to achieve growth with its claims team, which delivered on its promise of providing clients 50% of loss value if an idea of quantum is reached. Also in 2017, Oldfield received the Fellow of Distinction Award from the Insurance Institute of Canada. On top of these accomplishments, Oldfield heads AIG’s diversity & inclusion efforts and is responsible for ensuring the company’s support for industry events such as the RIMS Canada Conference and the Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade. She is also a regular speaker at diversity & inclusion and women’s leadership council events, and serves as a mentor to many insurance professionals and to women throughout the AIG network.
