Ariel Re Joins Bermuda Chapter Of ISC
Ariel Re, a Bermuda-based reinsurance business with offices in Bermuda, London and Hong Kong, has announced it has joined the Bermuda chapter of the Insurance Supper Club [ISC], an organisation set up to support the retention and development of women working in the insurance industry.
A spokesperson said, “ISC was set up in the UK in 2008 in response to the low representation of women in senior roles within the insurance industry. It now has six branches and more than 4,000 members globally.
“ISC activities include ‘lunch and learn’ events hosted by senior women insurance executives, mentoring programmes, soft skills workshops, round tables and private dinners.
“Ariel Re is already a member of the UK chapter of ISC, and the activities are now open to all female members of the Ariel Re team in Bermuda.”
“At Ariel Re, we want to continue to build a culture of inclusion, development and empowerment,” said Ariel Re Head of Human Resources Lindsay Hyland. “We value all members of our team, however we also recognise that attracting, promoting and retaining women within leadership roles in the insurance industry is challenging.
“We feel that working with the ISC is a good step in improving this for the individuals involved, our business, our industry, and the communities in which we work.”
“As a Not-For-Profit organisation aiming to help the insurance industry increase the representation and retention of women within senior positions, we are excited to further our presence and work across the Bermuda region for our new Ariel Re members,” said an ISC spokesperson.
“Ariel Re is already a member of the UK Branch of ISC Group but now the activities are open to all women in the Ariel Re team in Bermuda too.”
