Breaking Barriers: A Rising Star in the Insurance World

Some stories aren’t just about achievements, they’re about potential, passion, and the power of extraordinary individuals to reshape entire industries. This is Kirsty’s story.

Kirsty is redefining what leadership looks like in the insurance sector. When Insurance Business Magazine named her among Australia’s Top 27 Young Insurance Professionals in 2024, it wasn’t just an award. It was a declaration: the future of insurance has a new face, and it’s wearing a determined smile.

Imagine being one of only four professionals recognised in an entire state, that’s the rarefied air Kirsty breathes. But for her, this isn’t about personal glory. It’s about proving that innovation isn’t about age, but about vision.

Voices of Trust: What Our Clients Say

This isn’t just professional recognition. It’s validation from those who matter the most.

“I had the pleasure of working with Kirsty when recently setting up my new business. I cannot emphasise enough how professional, efficient and thorough Kirsty was in organising my insurance and taking away the stress of coordinating this. I had a very tight timeline to work to and not only did Kirsty meet this timeline she also presented me with a fantastic offer within my budget and specific to my needs. I highly recommend Kirsty and Knightsbridge Insurance Group” – Simone G, small business owner

The Professional Journey: Beyond the Accolades

Kirsty’s path is anything but ordinary. With more than a decade of experience spanning Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, she represents the new generation of insurance professionals, deeply knowledgeable, remarkably versatile, and driven by a genuine passion for her craft.

Her professional journey began at Griffith University, where she completed a Bachelor of Business in Marketing & Management. Standing out even then, she was one of just six graduates nationally selected to work for an international insurance brokerage in Sydney, a testament to her exceptional potential.

Over the years, Kirsty has crafted a career that touches every facet of the insurance industry. From broking and underwriting to claims management, business development, and regional leadership, she’s not just worked in insurance, she’s lived it. This 360-degree perspective gives her an unparalleled professional edge, allowing her to offer clients solutions that are both comprehensive and deeply personalised.

Her academic credentials further underscore her commitment to excellence. Holding a Certificate in Executive Management & Development from the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) and pursuing her MBA, Kirsty is continuously expanding her strategic capabilities. She was hand-picked for an intensive 12-month program that equipped her with advanced executive skills, preparing her not just to lead, but to transform.

But Kirsty’s excellence extends beyond professional achievements. A world-class athlete in her own right, she placed third globally in karate at just nine years old and now holds a Black Belt First dan. This competitive spirit translates directly into her professional approach, strategic, disciplined, and always pushing boundaries.

When she’s not revolutionising insurance, you might find her practising yoga, boxing, or jet skiing, embodying the same energy and determination that defines her professional life. Inspired by leadership icons like Jacinda Ardern, Kirsty believes in collaborative, empathetic leadership that empowers and energises her team.

The Knightsbridge Way: Kirsty’s Approach to Insurance

At Knightsbridge, we take immense pride in professionals like Kirsty who don’t just meet expectations, they exceed them. Her ability to connect, understand, and deliver isn’t just a skill. It’s an art form.

“In insurance, we’re not just managing risks,” Kirsty often says. “We’re providing peace of mind. Every policy tells a story of protection, of human connection.”

Her journey with Knightsbridge Insurance Group isn’t typical. While others see paperwork, she sees opportunities. While others track numbers, she builds relationships. Her colleagues describe her as a force of nature, analytical yet deeply empathetic, strategic yet always human.

This award isn’t just a milestone for Kirsty. It’s a beacon for every young professional who’s ever been told they’re “too young” or “too ambitious.” It’s proof that talent knows no age limits.

At Knightsbridge, we’ve always believed in nurturing extraordinary potential. Kirsty isn’t an exception, she’s the embodiment of our core belief that true leadership is about inspiring others, challenging conventions, and constantly pushing boundaries.

Her recognition sends a powerful message: the insurance industry isn’t just changing. It’s being reimagined by a new generation of thinkers who understand that trust is the most valuable currency.

As we celebrate Kirsty, we’re not just acknowledging an individual achievement. We’re celebrating a movement. A promise that at Knightsbridge, we don’t just adapt to the future, we create it.

Here’s to Kirsty. Here’s to the future.
