Joining in the US is Shelby Punke, a Consultant with more than a decade of experience in insurance executive search. She has recruited senior leaders across the P&C, Life, and Health insurance sectors, delivering targeted search strategies for C-suite and senior leadership roles. Shelby was previously a Senior Executive Recruiter with another search boutique. She began her career in commercial lines underwriting at Travelers, underwriting complex risks across multiple product lines, giving her strong industry insight alongside deep experience in identifying and securing top talent. Shelby will be an impactful addition to the team, bringing valuable expertise, strong market relationships, and playing an important role in supporting the continued growth of the business in the US.
On the other side of the Atlantic, our research function in London is bolstered by the hire of Alice Gorman. Raised and educated in Singapore, Alice graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2025 with an MA in Geography. In her role with Stephens Rickard, Alice will support the team at stages of each assignment and throughout the search process, contributing to market mapping, research, candidate identification, engagement, and assessment. Her work will ensure that each search is supported by thorough research and a well-developed view of the relevant talent landscape. Alice’s collaborative and detail-oriented approach, combined with strong communication skills and international perspective, will be invaluable in supporting the identification and engagement of high-calibre global talent on behalf of the firm’s clients.
