Insurance Professional
Sharla Walford
Sixteen years in insurance — and a habit of reading a policy the way an analyst reads a balance sheet.
Sharla Walford has spent sixteen years in insurance, and she came to it from the numbers side. Her degree in finance and economics still shapes how she works: she is analytical about a business where a great deal is sold on instinct, and she would rather show a client why a policy works than ask them to take it on faith.
What she is known for is untangling the complicated cases — and keeping people working together while she does it. Her leadership and the relationships she builds have been recognised across her career, and they have lifted the teams she has been part of, not only her own results.
Away from the desk she gives her time and her expertise to community initiatives, and she is a committed advocate for the arts. Both come from the same conviction that runs through how she talks about her family: that a life is measured by considerably more than a career.
