Page, one of three recent past presidents of the Chartered Insurance Institute to make the list’s Top 10, is responsible for the strategic management, statutory and governance oversight of Aon.

With more than 30 years in the insurance broking sector, she was consistently ranked as one of the 10 most powerful players in the industry by our judges, and works with clients across many segments, including consumer, SME, UK and global corporate.

As well as being president of the Chartered Insurance Institute during the pandemic, she is a member of the Confederation of British Industry’s Presidents Committee, a member of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Practitioner Panel, and an industry champion for diversity and inclusion, holding roles as a committee member of Inclusion@Lloyds.

She was a board director of the British Insurance Brokers' Association as chair of one of its advisory boards, then deputy chair until standing down in 2019.In 2017, Page was a recipient of a Business Insurance ‘EMEA Women to Watch’ award and has led Aon in committing to fostering an inclusive culture.

To try to change the face of the industry, in February 2023 Aon committed to offering 1000 work experience placements a year for the next three years at seven UK offices, as well as a virtual option, to year 12 students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Under Page's leadership, £1m of Aon’s apprenticeship levy has been set aside for learners outside of the firm, supporting charity partners and non-levy paying companies to develop their employees in apprenticeships from firefighting to healthcare and conservation.

When it comes to the environment, Aon aims to reach net zero by 2030 and Page recently signed the SMI ITF Supply Chain Pledge to drive sustainability across supply chains.
