What is “Coffee with the CEO”?

“Coffee with the CEO” launched in January 2021

in an effort to connect our members and provide them with access to senior executives across the insurance sector.

Over the course of the year, we work with our sponsors and partners to pull together an all-star cast of CEOs from across the industry to host one hour, small group virtual sessions with iCAN members to leave them feeling motivated and empowered in their careers.

What our members are saying

Hear from our members on what they enjoy about our “Coffee with the CEO” sessions.

 

“The session was pretty much perfect . . . The fact that people could just ask what they liked was a real positive . . . One of the best CEO sessions I have attended."

— Adam Ross, Risk & Insurance Adviser, Marsh

“Many of us had a chance to ask questions and expressed our views . . . Jon not only responded with his view but his passion. This has led the way to make a difference in promoting diversity and inclusion."

— Snowy Lam, Zurich

“Jon is both approachable and genuine, this enabled me to be brave enough to share my thoughts. His comments gave me the belief that work being done on diversity inclusion is not just a box ticking exercise but ensuring we live and breathe diversity."

— Wai Ching (Amy) Man, Change Consultant, Allianz

 

“I like the format – informal, right number of guests and well managed! I [only] wish we could broaden the audience / message!"

— Jonny Briggs, Group Head, Talent Acquisition & Diversity & Inclusion, Aviva

“I thought the session last week was great – really well facilitated, and an interesting free flowing conversation – except when Steve’s dog needed rescuing of course!"

— Sam Tillotson, Cert CII, Head of Strategy, Ardonagh Advisory

“I learned from [Stephen Treolar’s] talk that it is so important to strive to be the best within your role, as from this you can get headhunted, noticed and presented with many opportunities."

— Shola Aromasodu, Assistant Company Secretary
