Antonio Iozzo (CEO of Insurance Underwriting Managers & Body Action Gym)

In this informative episode, Carmen Murray chats to Antonio Iozzo, a self-made billionaire, about his journey and how he is planning to rattle the cages in the eye of the storm.

Antonio Iozzo, CEO of Insurance Underwriting Managers, has become a household name in Johannesburg business circles in recent years. His features in various publications, front-page exposure in Entrepreneur magazine, BusinessDay TV, and coverage on Standard Bank’s BizConnect site. It has also earned him recognition in the business world: he was the 2013 recipient of the Italian-South African Chamber of Trade & Industry’s FNB Business Excellence Award, and has recently been nominated for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2020/21 Award.

Antonio has remained fundamentally true to his roots. His unassuming nature, and even-tempered personality seem to belie his stature in the business world. The Antonio Iozzo story is a classic “rags to riches” tale, involving his ascent from inauspicious beginnings via business and personal travails to the heights of commercial success.
