#67 Peter Harmer - Fairness and curiosity

Supporting gender diversity is the fair thing to do. Join Peter and I as we discuss his leadership lessons, his reflections on the mistakes he made, his decision to share financial success across the whole organisation. He has dealt with some serious business issues in his time in the Insurance industry which isolated him from his senior leadership team. It was in these moments that he realised how truly resilient individuals can be when they need to step up. Peter Harmer was formerly Chief Executive Officer of Insurance Australia Group (IAG), CGU Insurance, Aon Limited UK, Aon Risk Services Australia Pacific and Aon Re Australia and has successfully led business growth agendas, major acquisitions and industry roll-ups. Today he is a non-executive director for Commonwealth Bank of Australia, nib holdings limited, nib health funds, AUB Group Limited, Lawcover Limited and an Advisory Board member for Bain & Company. It was such a joy to interview Peter. Our beliefs on engaging people and building cultures align very strongly. Join us.
