Vishal Kapoor shares advice on becoming a successful insurance leader

This year’s Insurance Business Australia (IB) Elite Brokers list recognises the best-performing insurance brokers across Australia, not just those with the biggest portfolios or the largest number of clients.

Vishal Kapoor, director of McLardy McShane Kapoor, made it to this year’s list. He is a dedicated insurance professional with more than 23 years of experience, entering the insurance industry after graduating from high school in the early 1990s. In 1997, he got a bachelor’s degree in commerce, majoring in insurance and marketing, at Deakin University Burwood.

From 1999 to the present day, Kapoor has worked as an account executive, claims consultant, franchise manager, commercial team leader, in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and insolvency,  as a national accounts manager, and national sales segment manager. Some of his roles encompass compliance, as a general manager, a managing director, and as a director of McLardy McShane Kapoor.  

In an interview with IB, Kapoor said his diverse experience gave him an edge over other insurance professionals.

“Working in diverse roles (locally and abroad) as an international broker, insurer, underwriting agent, and now in a large national broker has given me an opportunity to understand the ins-and-outs of the industry,” he said.
