We’re different. That is to say, our exclusive focus on business insurance sets us apart. Certainly, being different is just one of the many reasons why Canadian insurance professionals decide to join the ALIGNED team.

Above all, we’re always proud to welcome new members to our team and share their story. Most importantly, our About Us features are just one example of our commitment to connecting with our community. In the same vein, many of us are sharing useful business insurance content on social media every day.

Candice is proud to be part of the ALIGNED Insurance team. In her own words, here’s what Candice has to say about ALIGNED. 

Q. Why did you join ALIGNED?

Candice: I was ready for a change – a breath of fresh air in the insurance world. This is exactly what ALIGNED offered – an opportunity to grow, for mentorship and a great team environment.

Q. How did you first hear about ALIGNED?

Candice: I’ve been connected with Andrew Clark on Linkedin ­­for years, and had always taken notice of his posts.

Q. In your opinion, what sets ALIGNED Insurance apart?

Candice: I think the specific focus on Commercial Insurance sets ALIGNED apart – a whole team of dedicated, specialized insurance professionals! Supporting the needs of business insurance clients only is very unique in this industry.

Q. Why did you choose an insurance career?

Candice: Like many others, I fell into insurance. I knew I wanted to study business, but I also wanted to make sure I had some direction as to what type of business. I landed a part time summer job at Intact Insurance, and the rest is history!

Q. In your career to date, what are you most proud of?

Candice: I am proud to teach the Business Insurance program part-time for Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. It has been an amazing experience sharing industry knowledge and following the students after graduation as they start their careers in the insurance industry.

Q. Tell us about your most recent professional designations.

Candice: I have my CIP (Canadian Insurance Professional) and CRM (Canadian Risk Management) designations. I have also completed the Instructor Certification Program with the Insurance Institute of Canada.

Q. In your opinion, what’s the single most important service an insurance broker delivers to a client?

Candice: We are involved with our clients’ businesses at many stages. This can include when a client is just starting up, expanding, merging, buying equipment, property or vehicles or experiencing a claim situation. I believe it is most important for brokers to help ensure that their clients feel comfortable with their policy and coverage. Offering risk management advice is another important service that brokers deliver.      

Q. Which of ALIGNED’s 18 points of differentiation do you find the most personally meaningful and why?

Candice: For me, I’d say – “Business Insurance Only”.  Basically, my whole insurance career has been on the commercial (business) side of insurance – both as an underwriter and a broker. Working for a company that specializes in business insurance seems like such a natural choice.

Being different is a point of pride for every ALIGNED insurance broker and Advocate. And it’s because our founder, president & CEO Andrew Clark wants to deliver different kind insurance broker experience to Canadian business.

Since day one, we’ve taken pride in 18 things that we do differently for our clients. Ultimately, what gives us the most pride is delivering the best solutions and more value to every Canadian business that we support.

Robyn Selmes ALIGNED Advocate - ALIGNED Insurance Brokers

What Robyn Selmes believes to be the single most important service insurance brokers deliver…

“Buying insurance is never anyone’s favourite purchase, especially as there are so many expenses already for businesses. The most important part of being an insurance broker is to help make the entire “insurance experience” as seamless and simple as possible.

This can mean helping someone determine the right coverages or finding the best insurance companies to meet their specific needs. And, at the end of the day, it also means being there and helping people through any claims or concerns if and when they arise.”

Tyler Mitchell ALIGNED Insurance brokers

Why Tyler Mitchell decided to choose a career in insurance…

“Actually, I started out pursuing a career in a totally different sector. However, a close friend of mine spoke highly of the insurance industry so I ended up going back to college for it and have never looked back! 

One of my first jobs and arguably the most satisfying in my insurance career to date was working as an adjuster. A lot of people have negative thoughts about the insurance industry as a whole. This is because – thankfully, more often than not – you purchase an intangible product that you really hope you will never have to use. While it’s great to not have to make a claim, it means that the value of business insurance can be hard to quantify. Unfortunately, it is only when you actually suffer a loss that you realize the true importance of protecting your business with insurance.”

Pam Lecavalier Advocate - ALIGNED Insurance brokers of Canada

What Pam Lecavalier believes to be the single most important service insurance brokers deliver…

The most important service a Broker can deliver to a client is to be that trusted resource and fully understand all of their business needs and risk exposures. To navigate through policy language and make coverage recommendations that best suits an individual business’s specific needs.
