SCOTT MACDONALD
Upon graduation, Scott was introduced to the insurance
world and spent a year and a half with Wedgwood Insurance
in progressively digital roles for personal and commercial
lines. Scott decided to join our team in January of this year
as Digital Implementation Specialist where he will be leading
the digital evolution and advancement of our business into
the future.
While Scott may be a rookie to the insurance business, he is
no stranger to risk, having survived Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, and swimming with Great White Sharks in the Great
Barrier Reef. He probably has a slightly different view of risk than most in the industry! +
T
om Byrne joined us in September 2016 after 33
years in the Hospitality and Food Industry.
For the past 16 years, Tom was an entrepreneur
who owned and managed several restaurant
operations. He hired well over 1,000 people, from
kitchen staff to managers to service professionals.
Tom comes from a family tree built around sales. His father, the
late Tom Byrne, created one of the earliest and most successful
real estate firms — Byrne’s Real Estate — in the 1960s, before
the arrival of the global giants. While Tom’s natural career path
was real estate, he was always curious about insurance and
decided this was the path he wanted to pursue for ‘Act Two’ of
his life. This allows him to build upon his relationships and
also spend time with his young family.
