The Company has been granted a number of awards, but she is most proud of seeing by HR Asia award Baoviet Life as one of the best companies to work for in Asia for five consecutive years in a row since 2018 .

Stella Pruscino, Executive Leader, Account Director, Edgewise Insurance Brokers

As a business owner with over 30 years insurance broking experience, Pruscino's principal focus is understanding clients’ needs and tailoring bespoke solutions to address those exposures. Her passion is connecting people to help them achieve both business and personal goals.

A confident speaker and presenter, Pruscino's drive and curiosity for understanding the impacts of emerging risks on clients has provided her with the opportunity to publish and present on issues such as terrorism insurance in Australia.

Through her involvement in National Insurance Broker's Association (NIBA) Pruscino is able to collaborate with the broader Australian broking community to support the development of the industry and NIBA's members, making sure that the industry continues to bring through the next generation of risk and insurance advisors.
