SEI’s Monika Bolkun-Robert is not only breaking the glass ceiling, she insures it.

When you’re one of 6%, you’re automatically a leader.
According to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women now hold the majority of jobs in the insurance industry – 61%. However, despite their growing presence among industry employees, women only account for 6% of top executive positions and just over 12% of board seats in insurance. Insurance Business America’s list of “Elite Women 2016” helps prove those statistics may soon be in the past.
Along with SEI’s Bolkun-Robert, the women on the list have exhibited astounding personal and professional achievements that have earned them a place among the industry’s best. From CEOs of major corporations to innovative startup founders, the “Elite Women 2016” collectively demonstrate that the insurance industry is no longer just a man’s world.
