Strata insurance underwriter BDM wins award

CHU’s Queensland and Northern Territory Business Development Manager, Craig Stanley has been named Insurance Business Australia’s 2021 Underwriting Agency BDM of the Year.

Craig previously held a variety of sales, underwriting and business development roles before joining CHU, one of Australia’s leading strata insurance specialists, in June 2020.

“In just over 12 months Craig has repositioned CHU’s QLD/NT service model as modern, agile, and focused on delivering ever-improving customer outcomes,” said CHU CEO Kimberley Jonsson.

“His underwriting ability, high underwriting authority, focus, passion, and disruptive approach makes him a non-traditional BDM for a non-traditional time in insurance,” she said.

“It is a credit to Craig in that he was to quickly adapt when COVID-19 hit to come up with a new growth strategy and implement it using virtual meetings.”

Jonsson added: “Craig is a passionate advocate for the role of technology in insurance and runs numerous training sessions for internal and external stakeholders.

 Craig said: “I’m very proud to receive the award. In the time I have been at CHU the company has given me the opportunity to go beyond the traditional BDM role and I believe this is reflected in my winning the award.”
