Brown was honored along with five other women in business, finance, entrepreneurship, technology, law and government as a pioneer and role model.

Brown has 20 years of experience working for insurance and other corporations. She was named vice president and chief marketing officer for Starr Companies in 2011. In her career she has worked at The Economist Group, CQ Roll Call Group, MetLife, American International Group and Chubb.
