Sophie Wunsch - Accident & Health Senior Underwriter
Welcome Sophie Wunsch
Spearheading the development of a new product, Sophie Wunsch is on a mission to make Delta Insurance’s Accident & Health the best in the market through service excellence. She’s recently come on board on the back of a varied 20-year career in both broking and underwriting roles, with a balanced perspective of what it takes to stand out in a competitive environment.
Getting into insurance came as a happy accident for Sophie, who started in reception at a family-owned broker. Before she realised it, nearly a decade passed during which she steadily moved across several companies and up the ranks to become an account manager responsible for a large portfolio.
When the opportunity arose to move into underwriting, she didn’t hesitate and quickly discovered an aptitude and affinity for Accident & Health. During this time, Sophie also served as Queensland Branch Treasurer for the Young Insurance Professionals ANZ industry association.
Sophie believes her broking experience is invaluable in being a better underwriter as she understands what intermediaries want from underwriters, and what customers expect from brokers.
A go-getter willing to take on new challenges, she has rapidly made her presence felt at Delta Insurance, contributing to product development and taking ownership of the soon-to-be-launched Accident & Health portfolio.
Her goal is making a real difference with Delta Insurance – and reports her greatest achievement coming within months of joining the company through her work developing a completely new product suite. On the back of this success, Sophie intends scaling new heights by backing the Accident & Health portfolio with the service she knows brokers and customers expect.
Outside the office, family-oriented Sophie loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and two children or supporting their various sporting commitments. An accomplished chef, Sophie makes a mean smoked brisket, amazing tacos, and enjoys broadening her culinary skills in a bespoke kitchen in the family home.
