About
With over 20 years of insurance industry experience, I am the President and CEO of ALIGNED Insurance, a growing brokerage that is aligned with the interests and needs of Canadian businesses. I hold the CRM, RF, and FCIP credentials, which reflect my deep expertise and knowledge in insurance and risk management.
I founded ALIGNED Insurance in 2014 with a vision to create a different kind of brokerage, one that is driven by innovation, education, and customer service. Through our unique approach and our dedicated team of professionals, we deliver comprehensive and customized insurance and risk management solutions to our clients across various sectors and industries. I am proud of the value we provide and the recognition we have received, such as being named as one of Canada's Top 10 Under 40, Top 30 Elite Insurance Brokers, and a Company To Watch.

How can you determine the appropriate level of liability coverage?
Risk assessment, benchmarking, contractual requirement and leverage are all important things to consider when selecting a liability insurance limit. However, budget and cost also need to be considered as higher liability insurance limits typically get less expensive on a per million of limit basis and often the best way to decide is to secure and compare numerous limit options.
-
What KPIs are used to measure the success of risk management frameworks in data analysis?
I find the best KPI's are those that are those the company is already gathering or easily able to track and report on a monthly basis. Also, some of the best KPI's are "predictive or reflective" of risk, like number of customers, foot traffic, changes in asset values, emails sent etc. as they can be used to help inform risk management decision making.

How can you negotiate directors and officers liability insurance contracts?
One of the keys to negotiating the best D&O insurance policy for any client is to "tell and sell" the insured's plan, potential, future success etc. What financials look like today don't dictate what they will be in the future!
