Hawkins noted that Whiting’s tenure has coincided with severe weather events and a period of rising focus on natural hazard risk, reinsurance cost pressures, and pricing adequacy in the New Zealand market. “Amanda has guided our New Zealand business through significant challenges, including natural disasters, while strengthening our pricing expertise, risk management, and retail presence. She is highly regarded by her team, our customers, partners, and the wider market. As Amanda prepares to return to Australia into a group role at IAG, I want to thank her for her outstanding and ongoing contribution to IAG,” Hawkins said.
