Allianz Asia Pacific hosted a special event last week to mark International Women's Day.
The event with the theme "Empowering Women, Securing Futures," brought together over 100 participants, including Allianz employees, business leaders, and industry experts, for a day of mentorship, leadership development, and networking.
The event, a first for Allianz Asia, featured two expert panel discussions focusing on practical strategies for women’s leadership, financial security, and career advancement. Attendees also engaged in interactive sessions designed to equip them with insights and tools to navigate their professional journeys.
#SheSecures: A platform for women’s growth and inclusion
Launched in June 2024 to support women in distribution channels, #SheSecures has grown into a broader initiative for professional development, mentorship, and financial literacy across all employees and customers.
Since its launch, #SheSecures has been activated across multiple Allianz markets, with notable initiatives including:
- China’s “Night of Blossoms” event – Honouring 20 outstanding female agents for their excellence in agency sales, featuring a calligraphy session, award ceremony, and gala dinner.
- Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia – Celebrating and recognising top-performing female agents.
- Taiwan’s "Amazing U" event – A high-impact forum designed to strengthen professional relationships through mentorship and collaboration.
Allianz Asia Pacific regional chief agency, digital distribution & marketing officer Mohit Bahoria said that they believe that empowering women in financial services is more than just a mission, but a responsibility. Through #SHEsecures, the company began creating a regional network for its female agents and agency leaders, equipping them with the knowledge, support, and opportunities to excel. “We are now expanding this initiative to include all women across Allianz Asia Pacific, fostering a culture where mentorship, leadership, and financial empowerment go hand in hand. By bringing all our stakeholders together, we are shaping a more inclusive future for the industry," he said.
