Stefan Hicks is the founder of Resilience Insurance MGA (2022) and SHC Insurance Group (1989). After building SHC Insurance Group into a national operation, he led its 2015 merger with the ASX‑listed Parker Resources in a reverse takeover, continuing as Managing Director and CEO of the newly listed Ensurance Ltd. Under his leadership, the Group established multiple Managing General Agencies across Australia and formed strategic partnerships with Lloyd’s of London.

A first‑mover in the industry, Stefan pioneered bespoke digital platforms that enabled online insurance products for consumers and delivered multi‑insurer digital solutions to banks, credit unions and financial services providers. In 2016, he expanded the business internationally, establishing Ensurance’s London‑based MGA, becoming only the 14th MGA Swiss Re partnered with globally.

After stepping down from the Executive Managing Director role in 2017 and the board in 2018, Stefan reacquired SHC Insurance Group privately. His current venture, Resilience Insurance, delivers Australia’s first Latent Defect Insurance across all classes of property and construction, advancing innovation and capability across the sector.
