How This Rate is Calculated

Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dean has 20+ years of experience in the insurance industry, with a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Auckland. He’s held senior leadership positions at McLarens and Crawford & Company New Zealand. His expertise in claims management and commercial insurance is in demand. Location is Auckland, New Zealand, which is a hub for insurance professionals. Industry benchmarks suggest that senior leaders with his experience and qualifications can charge higher rates. Maybe around $150–$250 per hour? But considering his leadership background and education, maybe higher. Some top insurance executives can charge $300+. Let’s check averages. Senior leaders with his experience might average $120–$200. So I’ll estimate around $150
