At Howden, you’re not expected to leave your life at the door. Helping us shape this culture is Kelly C., Head of Risk at DUAL UK. In a candid interview, Kelly shares the personal experiences that prompted her to speak up, open up and drive policy change in the workplace. Her story includes a history of family cancer and her own preventative surgery, and how these lived experiences inspire her to help others through challenges like IVF, menopause and endometriosis. ‘Others’ aren’t just fellow women, but also male colleagues supporting their partners. And it’s not just female health issues, but different challenges affecting our mental wellness. As one of our co-chairs of the Respect Women’s Health group, Kelly is helping to build a workplace that makes space for real life.

At 14, Ashvita worked three jobs. Now in her early 30s, she leads one of India's largest facultative reinsurance teams. Ashvita Suvarna didn’t take the ‘traditional’ route into insurance – she turned resilience into momentum. Starting from zero clients and zero revenue, she saw opportunity where others saw risk and built a market-leading practice by bringing the right people together and backing bold ideas. From closing record placements to collaborating across Dubai, Singapore and London, her leadership is defined by bravery, curiosity and a belief that when you lift others, everyone moves faster. At Howden, we believe careers have no limits.

From outsider to executive: Sonia Caamaño's story is a powerful example of resilience, ambition and leadership. Featured in Insurance Post’s Dive In Festival edition, Sonia, CEO of International Growth Markets, reflects on her journey from being one of the few foreign women in the Lloyd's market to leading global teams with empathy and drive. Her path wasn’t handed to her – she carved it out by spotting opportunities others overlooked, championing diverse talent and staying true to her values. At Howden, those values – entrepreneurship, empowerment and collective power – aren’t just part of our culture, they’re how we lead. Sonia’s leadership is rooted in a simple truth passed down from her mother: “Treat people how you want to be treated.” A subscription to Insurance Post is required to access the full article: https://ow.ly/bogo50WY1uN #Howden #PeopleFirst #DiveInFestival #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion

Businesses around the world are grappling with geopolitical volatility. Against this backdrop, our survey of 500 senior risk and treasury leaders reveals a clear trend: companies with political risk insurance (PRI) are more resilient to shocks than those without cover. Demand is surging – but uptake is still held back by limited familiarity and confidence in the product’s benefits. This presents an immediate opportunity for carriers and brokers to step up, communicate the value of PRI more effectively and help to protect more businesses. Our latest report, Stepping up, makes the case for why PRI is more relevant than ever and outlines how the industry can reignite growth.

Wow, Australia – what a tour. Hard to believe it’s almost a week since that final memorable match in Sydney! We’re still reliving matches full of sportsmanship and drama. The sea of red Howden shirts in the stands. The roar of fans. Unforgettable moments that will live long in The British & Irish Lions' history.

When life happens at work, how do we respond? Kelly Clark turned her lived experience into bold workplace change, pioneering menopause support and women’s health benefits here at Howden: https://ow.ly/l1vi50WBcSj For Kelly C., Head of Risk at DUAL UK, navigating a family history of cancer, followed by a preventative surgery, was part of her journey. Today, she's Co-Chair of our Women's Health Employee Resource Group, where real stories inspire real action. From specialist healthcare access and menopause champions to desk fans for every woman who needs one, Kelly is helping to build a workplace where support isn't whispered behind closed doors, it's designed into the fabric of how we work. “We wanted to normalise menopause. Not make it some HR form you fill out in secret but something you can talk about with your manager or your team, without flinching.” Kelly’s edge? Leading with empathy and making space for others to do the same. Curious where a career at Howden could take you?
